TECH TIPS FOR SUMMER RIDING:

  

Imagine riding around Kuwait on a 40°C day or idling along the Gulf Road on a steamy weekend. Or just riding in heavy stop-and-go traffic on your way out of town. These are the types of extreme riding conditions that most Harley-Davidson riders will encounter at some point during the course of their summer riding season. But you can beat the heat and ride more comfortably in these conditions. Check out these strategies for keeping your cool when the mercury rises. Here are a few options that will help beat the heat:

 New Mid-Frame Air Deflectors

Mid-Frame Air Deflectors attach to the frame below the seat and direct radiant engine heat away from the rider. Designed and tested for severe duty and extreme temperature applications, the black GTX thermal deflectors are painted to match the inner fairing and fit 2001-later Touring models.

Remove Lower Fairings & Air Deflectors

On FLHTCU Ultra Classic Electra Glides, the lower fairings and air deflectors block wind from hitting the rider, which in many conditions is a comfortable alternative but when the temperature approaches the high forties, that reduced airflow can become uncomfortable so have the Dealer remove the lower fairings for more airflow keeping you and the motorcycle cooler.

Cover Your Legs

Sturdy long pants and high leather boots help protect the legs of the rider and passenger from the heat that naturally radiates from the engine and road surface.

Modular Helmet

A full-face modular helmet with flip-up chin bar prevents wind burn at speed, while allowing air flow during stops.

Cool the Core

The Hydration Vest and Mesh Jackets are actually meant to work together (the vest provides the cooling / hydration feature) and the mesh jackets allow for airflow while adding protective properties.

A common misunderstanding is that wearing only a T-shirt or even shorts will keep a rider cool, when in fact doing so leads to dehydration and dangerous exposure. Veteran riders who live in the hottest climates choose jackets made of nylon mesh like the H-D Mesh jacket or perforated leather jackets with lots of air vents to keep their body cool.

Stay Hydrated

Steady hydration is critical for maintaining low core body temperature. Stick with water and avoid caffeinated beverages, which may actually speed dehydration. The H-D Water Bottle Holder/Saddlebag Guard Bag keeps water close at hand, helping you stay hydrated.

Make Frequent Stops

When it’s really hot, stop frequently and rest either in a shady spot or in an air-conditioned building. This helps keep the body core cool and the mind alert.

Stop Revving It

Revving your engine while sitting in traffic actually increases heat output. Let the bike idle until you’re ready to accelerate.
