I want to work on my bike, and so when the day ended early I was going home at 1:00pm and it said 43 C in the shade and as I was riding it became 45 C! I couldn’t believe how hot it was but I was still enjoying it as long as I was moving. The heat shields are doing the job, they are redirecting the heat so that they are cooking my legs now, and the bike seems to be running smoother even in the heat! Previously the normal running temperature would be around 78 – 88 F, but now with this heat it was running 90 – 101 F, which is a big difference. Even with all this I was riding and enjoying it, now that its getting hot I will be taking more showers again. In one day I took three showers because of the heat, but I was still enjoying it, it felt like a complete workout, I was drenched and felt great after the shower.
