Do you guys see any benefit in insulating the gas tank a bit? Just some heat resistant material on the bottom of the tank to shield it from engine heat. particularly a small area next to the seat where air box ends.

 

There's nothing better than a warm gas tank on a cold day.

 

It was cold tonight coming home and I had shorts on. Found out the the frame rails get nice and warm from the engine heat. WHen stopped I squeezed my legs against them and got nice and warm. Couldn't make contact when moving.

 

Shorts? Ugh

 

I see no reason to need to insulate the tank

 

It already has an airbox and a 1/2" piece of foam for insulation. It's not really that necessary anyway. The frame rails are hot because that's where the radiators are.

 

LOL
that aluminum frame sure takes away a lot of engine heat.

 

Of course, cooler (and denser) gas could bump engine output by .5 hp or so.......

 

long pants? Ugh

 

Skin grafts? ugh... and OUCH!!!!!!

 

no condom? ugh!

We are talking about protection, right?!
