More heat issues

So I'm in the garage tonight, putting a headlight trim ring on, and in about 15 minutes I'm just drenched in sweat. Unfortunately, there is no cat to remove, or PCV, oil cooler, etc to install to solve this problem. Guess I'll just have to be glad I even have a bike to mess around with - even if it's still 90 degrees at 9:30 at night.

Have you considered the SETR?

Screamin' Eagle Trim Ring. One hundred dollars at the local HD shop. Runs much cooler than other trim rings.

I'm way up north in Abilene Ks., and the real feel has been over a 100 for at least 2&1/2 weeks. Humidity is bad like you guys have. Hope it cools down some soon. I go riding in the morning, and some times in the evening, and that is about it for me. The other day, I went out to take the back wheel off to change a tire. Took a little longer than I thought it would, as I had to repair a tail light wire has well. By the time I got done I was cooking in my own juice. But! It won't be long and I will be complaining about the cold. LOL. I'm 69 years old, and worked outside most of my life. Now I do not have to do that, so I don't. I'm getting to be a wimp in my old age. Maybe a poser. LOL. Believe me, I have earned it.

All of us older guys have earned it. Leave the stupid "macho stuff" we used to do to the younger ones still full of **** n' vinegar.

Unfortunately, I still have 7 more summers of heat to endure in a locomotive cab before I can pull the pin and hi-ball to the house!
