Universal, Yes, That's Right: A Universal Heat Fix Insulation Kit  

   Hello fellow non Yamaha FJR1300 owners, but yes indeed hot sport touring machine owners none-the-less!!!, ...I have been making heat fix kits for the FJR1300 since I purchased mine back in 2005. I have sold over 900 of them! I have been using the same material ever since. Due to receiving too many emails and inquiries to ignore anymore, I have designed a universal heat fix kit for all you proud owners of REALLY HOT BIKES (no pun intended) such as the Honda ST1300 and the new Kawasaki Concours 14.

   For those of you that don't want to give up any power while sport touring and eating up mile after mile of asphalt, ...I have had numerous requests for a heat fix kit for the new Kawasaki Concours 14, and believe it or not, even more requests for a kit for the Honda ST1300.

   This is a HEAT FIX kit comprised of one approximately 2 foot by 3 foot big piece of  automotive, industrial, double aluminum metal foil lined, heat and sound insulation material developed specifically for the intended use of blocking and reflecting heat.

   Many super sport touring motorcycle owners have described a problem, ...the bike gives off too much heat under the gas tank. Some even report they will not ride the bike if the gas tank gets close to empty, as they fear the risk of a possible explosion. Others have come up with fixes of plumbers pipe insulation and other various home remedies, etc. I have installed this on my own FJR (above) to basically just keep the tank cooler as it sits over a 1298cc-145 horsepower, in-line 4 cylinder power house. I did notice the tank would get pretty warm and didn't like this situation -although it never got too hot to touch. Some FJR riders complain about excessive heat near the crotch area on this particular bike and Yamaha has redesigned the 2006/2007/2008 models to be more effective in routing the heat away from the driver, ...I see this as a good indication there really is a bit of a problem on the 2005 and previous model year bikes. Even though I have sold this kit to sooo many 2006, 2007and 2008 owners I cant even believe it!

   So here you have a real world solution you need for any hot bike, just cut and install! In the case of the FJR1300: All that is required is to loosen the front gas tank bolts about 1/4" then remove the rear spindle/pivot bolt which holds the rear of the gas tank, raise the tank (use a block of wood to hold it up), insert cut insulation, lower the tank and reinstall the hardware, it is that simple! My tank barely gets warm after hours and hours of riding after this modification. I think the total fix for any heat problem is to install this insulation and conduct a throttle synchronization, or have your favorite certified tech do this, then I bet all your heat problems disappear forever. This kit is designed to block heat, not airflow.

   As shown as installed on my own FJR1300, shown for example purposes only, you will receive a 2' X 3" rectangle piece to cut as necessary. I can include shears which will cut many many things after you are done with this project, just add $25 to the shipping cost and indicate you would like a pair of Wiss brand (high quality) shears with your order.

  This insulation was designed specifically to block and reflect heat. This material will fit very easily under the gas tank and other areas heat is desired to be blocked without blocking airflow, and still allow the engine to run at normal temperatures, I have put over 12,000 miles now on mine with this installed and it runs just like it did without the insulation, except the gas tank remains cooler all the time now. As an added bonus it lets you hear the exhaust output sound a bit more as it lowers the engine sounds just a tad. Anyway, I thought I could help out fellow sport tourers by making this kit and making it easy to get.

***This is a newer version of a kit I have been selling with nothing but success since 2005, this new material is 100% waterproof and will not absorb water at all, it has a higher heat blocking rating and is more durable than the older style kit making it more ideal for those hot bike owners that like to take advantage of the heat in the winter and remove the insulation during that season. The older kit was a single foil sided compressed fabric type material, the actual insulation was blue in color. (in case you were wondering). If you have and old version (blue on one side aluminum on the other and would like to upgrade, please contact me here.
