How bad was it from factory? I dread to think what the old twins with tail pipes felt like in summer.

It's not great. On a reasonably warm day it's bearable for about a hour-and-a-half and uncomfortable for anything past that. If the reviews are correct this will make a noticeable difference.
After 260k miles my Honda gave up the ghost so this is going to be my main and only bike. So I need it to step out from its weekend warrior status and become an (overpowered) day to day runner.

I spent the whole day fitting new heat shielding. I thought it would be easy but I ended having to faff with the subframe. I'm hoping it'll make riding in warmer weather a little more bearable.
