I am a 5"5" woman and just bought my '09 Fat Boy. Love it but had to get a custom Corbin seat to make the bike more comfortable. Having said that the nose of my seat is narrower than the stock as well as the width....the dip stick and oil tank are no longer covered by the seat.
The heat being drawn up through the dip stick under my thigh is unbearable when I stop...even with jeans on. Any ideas as to what I could do to absorb this heat issue away from my leg? The 2010 models have narrower stock seat and I can all ready see in the new pics where there might be an issue for new buyers. Makes for riding in any heat uncomfortable for me at least.
