Well I just thought that if you lower the seat your removing material setting you closer to the top of the engine and it would feel hotter unless the memory foam works as a better insulation. But I guess I'm just a dumbazz and should probably find a forum that caters to dumbazz's.

Then you're in the right place!

OK, seriously though... RJ (sponsor here "Zoood") can put some heat shields on your bike if the rear cylinder is creating too much heat for you or you can spend some real cash trying to cool the bike down but really.. I felt no difference at all.

Allen, badx, could tell you more depending on your seat and bike. Just speaking of my experience(s) with MeanCity, they do great work at a fair price. That's why they will give you an appointment to send in your seat. They be busy!
