Nah man, I've never had a problem. I mean, the back of the bike gets pretty hot, so I would like to heat wrap it. But I've ridden up to Toledo from here in Columbus, only stopped once and didn't have a problem. Has yours been doing this?
reply about the jacked up foot picture. i laid my bike down after comin down from a wheelie. hit pavement doin around 35mph and broke 3 bones in my foot and shattered the first joint on my big toe right by my ankle. i had a orthopedic surgeon (podiatrist) go in and reconstruct the shattered joint he used 3 pins to hold it together. then ran a 4th pin up the bone connecting my second toe to my ankle to fix an overlapping fracture. my 3rd toe had a straight fracture that didnt require any pins. and i have a hairline fracture up the 4th bone. plus all the road rash has since healed. my wreck was may 18th of 2008. im pretty scarred up and in almost in a felling of constant not so painful pain. more irritating now that ive gotten used to it. but im good to go. actually got my bike back out of storage. and road it around. still got some pretty ugly cosmetic damage but mechanically my F4i is a champion.
It took me a while to put it all together. A couple of weeks ago I was corresponding with a dude that works for Wal-mart in their warehouse facilities/quality control in Bentonville. His name was Matt Couch. It bugged me for the longest time b/c I knew the name sounded familiar....Then I see cattmouch33 on the forum. HA!
