toasty thighs

toasty, not tasty. Went to the coast the other day and did some sorely needed sun and ocean bathing. Took a young lady friend on my ST4 and got away from Tokyo for two days. Now the summers in Japan are tropical to say the least, running about 38 C and 70 to 80% humidity. Not so bad when moving, but getting into a traffic jam in the city is not welcome. The nasty thing about an ST (compared to my finally sold SS) is the exhaust comes out of the cylinder right under the thighs and it tends to get a little warm at times. Has anyone found a way to ameliorate this in any way. It would seem some kind of heat guard could be rigged up over the pipe to divert some of the unwanted thermal fun, but I wonder if anyone has tried to do so successfully.....I know, never gets that warm in the UK....But many of you go to Spain....Ole!
