I've read on here where lots of folks talk about the heat from the radiators being so extreme, and have never been bothered by it until last Saturday when the wife & I were riding in this current Oklahoma heatwave. I've had a set of the hand wings for a couple of years, but have always kept them 'closed', just haven't been bothered by the heat too much. Before our ride, I opened them for more air circulation on us, big mistake, as it seemed to us the airflow they created drew a LOT of heat from the radiators up into the cockpit area and made for a much hotter ride. I ride most of the time with feet on the hiway pegs but this time my legs were HOT, it definitely made a bad difference for both of us. It was 102 that day, have since closed them back up, rode today at 112, and though it was hot, the radiator heat didn't bother me nearly as much. Am I crazy, anyone else agree with this? Oh, My wife was the one that said "Put them things back like they were"!
