how hot is it?

[baylensman]

Did a little ride with my sweetie yesterday, we went to the Clearwater Marine aquarium to see Winter. We took the scenic route home (about 20 miles) it wasn't overly warm yesterday, but there seemed to be a bit of heat on the right (brake foot) side, my ankle still felt warm even when i had my foot out on the hiway peg. Is this normal or something to look at.

 

The other thing is I don't think I've ever heard the fan come on, my last royal star didn't come on often but it did occasionally, and I could here it when it did. Is there an easy place to put a temp sensor? Has anyone ever put a direct read gauge in one of these beasties?
