[LM7800]

I've been riding in temps between 0 and -25 C (32 and -13 F) and in all snow conditions, powder, hard trail, loose trail, etc and still haven't seen the overheating light. But been reading about a lot of overheating issues so have bought the Mountaintech vent kit, but not mounted it yet. I'm installing an under tunnel exhaust later this year, hope it doesn't mess up things. In order for rad's to be effective, you need proper air flow, both front and back.

I haven't seen enough miles on enough snow yet to know how well the OFT close-off works. I'll let you guys know if we get some snow. with that and the tunnel protector tubes gone, it sure looks clean under there.

anyone try spraying the tunnel down with pam cooking spray to reduce ice sticking, does it work?

rode with the schmidt bros block off plate this weekend, I can't say I'm overly impressed. I think i did better just kicking the side of the tunnel every now and then at a stop sign and at the end of the day. that kept a ton of ice from building up
