If you can make this solution work, it did have a big impact. My temperature on the ride today stayed no less than 20-30° cooler in all riding conditions. Through town was a considerably bigger difference than that. My peak temperature for today was 234° and that was including through town, prolonged idle, and a slightly warmer ambient temperature than it's been. Cruising on back roads, my temperature stayed stable between 215-225°. The bike also cooled much more quickly. Using the thermostat, the temperature dropped from ~225° to below 150° in the time it took me to pump gas.

Only took an hour. Everything works fine, just make sure you cut all the zip-ties to readjust. The brake line looks like its bottomed out, but there is a little play even when the bars are maxed out to the left. I put new zip-ties on to clean everything up and re-checked all clearances. Lastly, took it for a ride, best thing I could have done to keep the OEM bars!

Absolutely! First thing I noticed was the reach, I actually sit more upright now, and my arms are bent at the elbow, instead of locked out, so I'm in a much more relaxed position. So I would say it pulled the bars back a couple inches? It also rose the bars enough to where I can now actually use my stock mirrors and see what's behind me, not just my shoulders lol You will love it!

Anyway a good seat shop can do this and retain the stock look of the seat by using the exact same cover, just pulling it tighter. An aftermarket seat like Danny Gray will work too, but cost a whole lot more
