looking at this problem again (it is still hot and humid here with plenty of traffic jams to keep one meditating on the subject at hand....er thigh), it seems there may be a way to mount some kind of a shield to the frame right next to the suspension and strut, without interfering with travel or movement. A shield could possible direct the heat back or to the right side (the left thigh is usually toast) for a little more heat distribution. I am just wondering what kind of material to make a test piece out of. CF would be trick, but I don't think I can work with it in making a trial piece, Any ideas out there?
