Gunna go this way then from Victorville down the 15 home through the Cajon Pass. About 240 miles. Will hit temps from the range of 65-100. We have not been on the 247 before and are looking to see what the other side of Big Bear looks like. Wanted to go to

Idlewild but the main road is closed for the foreseeable future as many places don't have a road anymore after the rains and slides

Not a good road to take for a while....

Thats how we usually go up to Big Bear, 247 to the 18, We have a place up there on Starvation Flats road right by where the road crosses over the lake on the east end by the wet land area

As to Idyllwild I am hoping they can fix it pretty soon, a loop up 74 through Idyllwild and back down through Banning is just about my favorite ride when the weather gets hot - - for now I guess I will have to turn around and come back down the way I go up

It was chilly here today...I rode 40-50 miles and on the way out I was sitting on the ventisit cushion not thinking about the cold air that was circulating behind my back making me cold ...on the way home I put it behind my seat.....and I was slightly warmer... a thin windbreaker also makes a pretty big difference.

Ouch! Personally, unless I found a very-much-wanted color scheme, I think I'd replace my seats before spending more than new seats cost yo buy seat-covers.

Have you funneled air into the 'cockpit'?

That was I think one of the very first things that I did. I blocked off all of the holes in the foot well. I made a pattern of the hole and used old style (20's to 40's) wind shield rubber. It comes in two widths, I used the narrower on one side of the hole and the wider on the other and it overlapped so that the pedals would work thru it. Oh! I used RTV to stick the rubber on. There is a DIY over on TDS. It is a pain in the butt to do but it works

With the 2015 we added the muffler/exhaust manifold heat shields, (they were not stock back then), and floor mats, now even the dog rests comfortably on the passenger side floor? The only thing different from "newer" models is that we have never installed the radiator shroud?

Getting ready to put them on the seats in about 30 min for today's ride. It is a jacket and hat day this morning before it warms up.

I like the FunCycle blocking off the hole in the drivers side but perhaps will do this with a way to remove it as well for the winter. Good Idea. As far as the hot air and all - ALL the air around me is gunna be hot. It is the flow of air that I am looking for. If I put in a seat pad with no fan I have no "pushed" air. With the fan it will at least be moving air and really no hotter than the ambient air. These plastic seats, as we all know, leave your back drenched in the summer. IF I can eliminate or drastically reduce the "swamp" then I will be happy. Yes it is hot here but the humidity is almost nothing. Moving the air, although hot, most will evaporate I am hoping. We shall see.....

What winter really looks like

It sure would be nice to find accessories that matched the styling of the SlingShot seats that were reasonably priced?

I think you can have one or the other, but not BOTH!

There is a law in PA that you must clean the snow off your vehicle before you drive.....that looks like a $10,000 violation....

Quote from SoCal

Very much slap on and go and I will have these dialed in better tomorrow. However, they feel quality and when I turned them on the fan kicks air everywhere so I am hopeful. Everything about him I am happy with so far.

SoCal, they match the fast gray color almost perfectly....

those actually dont look bad. depending on your report I might have to think about trying them out

on a slightly different note back in my first summer I bought myself 7 white long sleeve moisture wicking shirts. on work days during our 110 degree plus days I change into one for the ride home. At first it seemed odd putting on a long sleeve shirt when it was 110 out, but they really do help keep me much much cooler and dryer and that wet back you mentioned drys out very quickly and the evaporation helps cool me down, just lean forward a bit at stop lights. Also and probably more importantly is the protection they provide from skin cancer - never had it and I sure dont want to start now

bet the shirts would be even better with these seat cushions

white long sleeve moisture wicking shirts - - highly recommended for rides on hot summer days - might not look cool, but they are
