Mood: I've bought a 900SL!
monkey butt (or baboons harris)
Having finished running in my 999 with a trip to Nice and back I found that the worst aspect of discomfort wasn't the bars /cramped pegs but the heat from the exhaust seepng through the seat.
My backside developed a couple of very tender spots that even a few weeks later arent happy (pressure point on seat at back of thigh into bum cheeks)
Anyways is this heat related (feels like from a seat of pants assessment fnarr)
or just the hard seat/plastic sides . And does the heat problem get less if the exhaust is CAT free (therefore less hot?)

Thoughts?
PS me and the missus had a brief spin out sat and my butt wasnt happy on return (only 80miles covered too) very much boil in the bag syndrome.

PPS its a bog stock 2006 999 biposto. (in red)
