Default Hot seating

Hi all,
I am new here, and bought my night rod 2 weeks ago!
I love the bike, awesome ride, fast and handles well!

Hot seat is only noticeable issue so far!
Anyone else has same problems and found any solution to eliminate some of the heat. I am living in Florida so, you don't need any extra heat.

I had before sportster custom 1200cc and Suzuki S83 1400cc (intruder) and these bikes provide much cooler seating.

Thank you, and safe drives to all!

-Mike

i have never notice the seat getting hot on mine. check and make sure ur radiator vent hose is hookd up and routed correctly. i do know that every time i get on mine i ride like my pants are on fire, lol... if it persist try lining the bottom of the seat with a thermal liner like the stuff under the car hoods...
