Vance, 

I'm not sure the boys in the great white north of Minnesota feel our pain with the heat or they would have designed for it from day one.  Although the add-on deflectors work great it's a shame something couldn't have been integrated in the first place.  I'm probably longer legged than 80% of the riders (36" inseam) and I can feel the heat on the right side even with my long legs.  

I was at my dealership last summer and a couple from California came through Memphis on a Vision and he had second degree burns on the inside of his leg just below his right calf.  (He was about 5'7".)  He peeled back a 3X3" bandage with burn cream on it and showed me a really nasty silver dollar sized blister.  He didn't know anything about the wind deflectors and I immediately went behind the counter of the showroom and pulled a set off the wall display.  He bought them on the spot.

Somebody waaaay smarter than me is going to come up with a real fix that is designed into the bike and not viewed as an afterthought.  I don't plan on ever upgrading to a newer Vision so I have a lot of time ahead of me to "noodle" and make the 2008 model a little bit better for everybody that has one through lots of trial and error.
