Default Age old heat under seat question

My 09 Heritage Classic puts off a lot of heat under the front of the seat. I have not had this bike long and I really love it....awesome ride. I bought it with 21K miles, has a stage 1 with Cobra true duals on. I do not know anything else than that. The bike runs great.....sounds great. Just a lot of heat. What are y'all doing to reduce the heat? Bank account is not fat so can't do a lot. Thanks.

Looks good. Does it just stick out or does it turn down after a while? Thanks

thanks I will look into it. I just found something he makes that made the wife cry. In a good way. She needs a fender bib for her 2006 FLSTI since she runs a solo seat. Her son was a sheriff deputy that was killed 5 yrs ago on duty and Capt Itch sells a fender bib with a deputy star on it. That is a must buy. Looks like I will be making an order for that and maybe the heat bib too

They will lay down after a bit.

My '07 Heritage I picked up this week has these and they do work pretty good. Although I still may pick up a Capt Itch down the road for the look of it.
