RE: Melted Lowers
I have an 04 stock, and after a minute of topping out the bike my right foot was being cooked, itwas unbearable,I had to move my foot as far away from the bike asI could and still could feel a lot of heat. I can only imagine what the lowers go through....

What's wronf with the lights/flasher relay? Or is that optional if you're going to put in flushmounts?

Fan should come on @ 220.
Fyi: If you have factory blinkers it would save you time to do oil change/heat tape/lights/flasher relay all at once.

Anyone know about heat problems with the later manufactured '07's? I want to eliminate this problem before it starts. I know I have the extended warranty, but I do not want to go through the hassle of dealing with my dealer on this type of issue?

apparently this is a problem, bring to dealer request new fairings(with more heat tape on them ) its not official, but honda is aware of the problem- al b

I do think it's worth doing the heat tape thing and I plan on doing that even though my 07 is still fairly new. FWIW I didn't have this issue on my 05 with 5k on the clocks.

RE: Melted Lowers
if you do get the fairings in (replaced) are you going to have to give up the heat damaged one(s). I have noticed this on the left side (when sitting on) have yet to examine closely on the right.
