After back surgery, 3 knee surgeries and a replaced ankle tendon, I think IBA may be quite a stretch for me.Looks quite comfortable, please give an update how you think about it after you join the IBA
I will say it is much harder, better contoured, and a bit slippery, so far.
Got it used from a gent who totaled his S10. Insurance took the bike, but he had the wherewithal to put the stock seat back on before they took it.

Found out my phone stops charging if it hits an internal temp above 110F.... Air temp last 2 nights was 115F and 111F
Was chasing my tail replaced the USB cord, the aftermarket charging socket wondering why the heck my phone would stop charging at 74%.... Aint technology grand?

Installed my Hondo Garage "Perfect Squeeze" onto the Madstad bracket. Now I can use my phone on the rare occasions that I need directions.
Yeah, electronics hate heat. My cordless tool lithium batteries won't charge if it gets too hot.

I have a cooling app on my phone along with a cleaner and booster. Total Security. No idea how good it is, but the cooler app does bring the temp down.

Yeah I just didn't expect the thermal throttle to kick in so low. 109f is nothing. Should be set to 50c (122) at minimum in my book. Then I remembered I have a samsung and they are probably worried about blowing up on planes again!
Those cooling apps can work depending on what's causing the heat. Some just shutdown or point out apps that are using a lot of the GPU or CPU. Some can even go so far as undervolting the CPU and GPU so they won't overheat (at the cost of lower performance in games). But they can't do anything for the weather being hot.
You, and your dry heat. . . . I'm jealous. The ST1300 has a temp display on the dash. When it hit it's max temp, 122F. it will just start blinking the 122. Until it cools off.

At 9am it was 100. At 4 pm on the way home 118. But we are getting a cooling trend heading our way. Only 107 next week.
Did, an oil change, which means removing the skid plate and trying to get it straightened out.
The ACD plate has taken some good hits.
I don’t know how the T. rex users deal with the amount of oil that comes out of the filter. Looks like it would result in an oily mess going on in the skid plate area.
Lubed my shifter and rear brake pivots.

Nice Mak! I too have wondered about the mess from the oil filter with the plate in place...
I mounted up a new rear tire today. Only got about 5k miles out of the rear. The front still has a lot of life, so I spooned on another E-07+. When the front is due I spoon on a set of non +'s.

I've thought about just letting the oil go where it's gonna go. . . . and then use some brake or carb cleaner to spray the pan. Then I wonder if that would be more of a pain in the ass, than taking the plate off. So, I just take the plate off.

Have T-Rex bars and skid plate on my Tenere but haven’t needed to do an oil since installing them so I am also curious to find out how that goes.

I been poking a hole in the front of it down low to drain most of the oil out before I unscrew it...
My Jeep 3.6l is a canister with cap that unscrews from the top. No mess; hot or cold. Had a 1.3l rotary with a spin-on that would come off clean prior to start up. Every other car/bike/truck has been a mess and p.i.t.a. The Mopar 4.7l has an oil filter drain ramp that keeps the oil off of everything else, but is still a pain to clean. One would think that by now, there would be a better mousetrap.

With the T-rex skid-plate, I usually drain the oil with the bike on the side-stand.
When you pull the filter, the oil just runs down the left seam and out the access opening for the forward drain-plug.
After I install a new filter, I just chase the oil down the seam with a quick shot of brake-cleaner.
It's not as messy as you would think.
With the access-door in the front it makes it fairly easy.
