P1000m5 LE Heat sheild install

[Tramguage1]

I would like to share my seat heat install on my 17 LE.
First thing is thanks to @Bayouownbeer for the guality product and quick delivery.the first pics are of a couple temp reading before i started the engine.

The temp today was 98 or so.
These are after a 15 or 20 minute ride.

Then i removed the seat.installed the shield.
Apparently my 17 has the seat heat fix fr
om Honda. Its a thin piece of rubber over the meatal bars.

The sheild install very easily. Had to remove 6 or 8 plastic rivets. Tucked it up under the back plastic and it fit perfictly.

Next are a few readings after install and about a 20 minute ride.

So as you can see the sheild mad a huge difference in my case. I also went grabbed the wife and took the wife on a 15 minute ride around our property approximately 20 minutes long. Stopping and starting numerous times. She even noticed the difference.

So i am VERY happy with the mod.
Thanks again@ Bayouownbeer for the product.
I hope this helps someone else on the forum.

That's for the real world pics! I wish I had gaged mine before and after...

Add yourself one of these under the seat and you'll keep that heat from building up.

Yep, my buddy @CaptinJackRZR also has a heat problem! I have ordered 2 fans one for his RzR and one for me.
Oh heck other brands have heat complaints also!!!!!!!!

I'm pretty sure you've done enough around here that you should qualify by default!

Did you trim the shield from around the storage box?

No, i left the sheild complete. I contemplated cutting it out but i dont have anything stored in it yet. I think if i open it up to alow direct access to the storage i may install Dynamat around the outside of the plastic box and then put slits in the sheild to alow easy access.

I never put the mat under the back part guess it would be better. Around the seat belt latch

Hey just a heads up. On the driver seat belt there are 2 wires that go to the buckle, just pull them out and short the wires together and you won't have to sit on the seat belt all the time

I wish I had done this as well....... Are you planning on bilge fan, etc, and if so can you take temp after the 15-20 minute ride?

 

[Tramguage1]

Yes i am the first on the list for the Honda retrofit. I have the fan that JTW suggested on its way. As soon as i get it installed i will post the temp readings here.
I will remove my added sheild and not use the fan , and take temp readings. My dealer wants to us my machine as a test unit. We will chronicle along the way.

You need to install a 10 inch fan ceramic coat headers and pipes along with heat shield and heat wraps that 4 inch bilge pump fan will not last cannot be used extended time frame bearing melts case also if your in desert dust will destroy must have sealed bearings have fixed problem Email me at [email protected] for photos
