This is really bizarre. I had to post it under electrical. Isn't the whole motorcycle experience about getting out into the moving air? Not for me. I think it looks goofy. I wonder how that hose works at highway speeds?

Speaking of that, the air for the unit has to come from around the rider. I suppose it is less efficient for a big guy who needs it more than a skinny guy.

Eric, You and Shirley getting outfitted with these before your trip up here this July?

some of the iron butt guys could mount it on the aux fuel tank

Anybody seen this? A/C for motorcycles...

This looks kind of interesting.
There's no indication of price yet, but you can sign up for 20% off...whatever the price will be.

It looks a little silly, but could be kind of nice for hot or cold weather:

Think that was posted here awhile back.
There's also the cool vest (circulates water thru an ice bath)

20% off ? is a little rich for me LOL

It would be nice if it actually worked. YMMV

My ST already has AC, it's that twist-to-blow grip thing on the right bar.

That moving air isn't as much fun when it's 98? and 90% humidity.

 

[LoSTBrit]

Ah yeah, but in Colorado "high" humidity is about 50%, when Denver is at 100'F, the twisties in the mountains are around 80-90'F.

My AC works great!
