I had a pm wondering if I had the factory under cowl installed. No. But it should be here tomorrow and I'll see if it makes it better or worse.

If I didn't have two Gen I V-Stroms here at the house it might be harder to complain. But when the '12 is supposed to have been improved...and it puts out noticeably more heat than the Gen I's I feel compelled to complain. Even when it was in the mid-80's here the heat was very noticeable. I have ridden the Vee in 100+ temps and never noticed engine heat to concentrate on my legs. Not just one side, both sides. I'll fix it, just wondered if others have noticed it yet.
