Uh oh,passenger heat BIG problem

[Victor Chiappetta]

Hey guys the excitement of picking up the Rocket yesterday has turned into despair rather quickly.The wife is saying that the heat she feels riding behind me is completely overwhelming and that the bike is useless to her.Granted we are high 90's here in NC with a serious heat wave going on . Couple fellas suggested bead riders but wondering if anyone else has run into this and if so what if anything can be done?
Dealer said at the first service Engine Ice can be added to reduce engine temp a good bit.
Interested in any possible solutions.

My wife always gets hot when she rides on the back, no matter what the temp is!

I guess she has never been on a Harley, 10 times worst, i got both so i know, at that temperature every bike will radiate a lot of heat, i see no real solution to your problem,,,

Funny thing is our last bike was a Street Glide.She claims this is worse.Im not back there so I can't say.With highway pegs I am good,moves my legs away from the heat.Sucks because for me this is by far the most comfortable bike ever.
She is keeping an open mind.Lets see what happens.....Hope I'm not posting in the classifieds!

I put a piece of water pipe insulation in the gap between the bag and seat. My wife says its tolerable but not comfortable.
