I purchased an 18X18 sheet of shielded fiberglass, cut it, and double-sided it to fit under the hot seat. Hopefully the heat will radiate downwards. That seat is so thin. There is a lot of room under there, most bikes put a battery there.

Where did you get the fiberglass material? and Keep us posted to how well it works. Thanks Ted

I'd have to say I'm not overwhelmed with the heat from the seat, maybe because of my skinny ass. Head radiating from exhaust on the right bothers me more I'd say.

I picked it up at my local race shop. Here is one I found online: http://www.jegs.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/product_10001_10002_750869_-1_10633

Wow, this sounds like just what I need. My ass is none too skinny and anything that can beat the heat is a bonus. Definitely do keep us posted.

They sell that tape at Lowes and I am sure like all over the place, that is heat reduction tape.

HVAC / Aluminum Foil Tapes

^^^ Won’t that work or no?

It won't work as well as the stuff Brent is using. You can't see it from the photos but it has a layer of fiberglass cloth on the other side of the foil. I've used this stuff on race cars to cut down on the heat in the footbox area. It worked very well.

I'm thinking that one layer of that stuff with the foil facing down and then taping the bottom of the seat with some of the adhesive foil tape may be the best way to isolate your butt from the heat. Good call Brent!

So... HVAC / Aluminum Foil Tapes will work but just not as well as fiberglass stuff?

You just had to get that out of the way, didn't you? Everyone know's that olive oil is the best!
