what puzzles me (lots of stuff) is how some of us are stating that the heat from the AC area is intolerable and others are saying  that it is not an issue.  How can that be?  we all have the 110's and for the most part have made similar mods for example, cats gone, some tuner, baffles replaced.  what is the root cause of this?  is it the tune that regulates the heat issue?  Someone with more knowledge than me has got to offer some information/ideas.  Thanks.

yes, it is the tune. I don't have midframe air deflectors and I too rode the black hills 2 weeks ago, no heat issues. around here in Tennessee the temps have been scorchers, high 90's, still no heat issues.
what's the skinny on these Cobra slip ons, pics anyone?

Sert the bike out and have it re-tuned.Install different slip-on's or pipes. I went with a heavy breather intake and it stays nice and cool. Don't use the sock because it limits airflow. I only use sock in a rain down pour.

so i contacted a reputable guy in NJ that has a lot of experience tuning.  I told him that I have  SSERT.  he recommends the TTS for a couple reasons but can get it done with what I have.  I am bringing it in next week to Black Hills Custom Parts.  Anyone have work done there?  I spoke to Ken who sounds like a very nice guy and very knowledgable.

Mine was really hot too but I had lowers on it at the time.  Took them off for the summer, replaced the head pipe with a non cat one, replaced the stock baffles with Fullsac's, retuned with TTS and it's not nearly as hot.  Don't know which one helped the most, but it's much better now.

My Cobra's #1801-0099.  Love the sound and the look.

Loose header connection would be audible and create a popping sound at decelleration. Air cooled big inch mills make heat on hot days... Shorts may actually be hotter than pants if you consider 100 plus temps, the motor and the sun. You may be a BMW guy and don't know it. I hear Gold Wings come with air conditioning and a wet bar for 010... this may be the answer...

Silver Streak, thanks for posting - those are the same I have and likewise love the look and sound.

But, I did see a Harley Girl riding a Sportster in shorts a couple of weeks ago at the dealer.  Well, they were kinda shorts, but shorter, almost Daisy Dukes.  Personally, I think that's fine.
