| High Mount = Wife Roaster? Do any of you with high mount exhaust systems get complaints from your passengers when it comes to heat?

| Re: High Mount = Wife Roaster? Haven't had the Mrs. on the Blade yet, but I bet its not as bad as the exhausts that run under the seat. All that heat has to go somewhere, and those seats are perfunctory at best. |

Even through summer with the missus on the back, no real complaints at all. Come winter, it should be awesome - the pillions own personal heated seat! haha | |

| Re: High Mount = Wife Roaster? Be happy! I rather have my girl ride next to me compared to behind me. Even if she wants bigger and better bikes. Just means more ride time for you! |
