They make heat deflectors that mount under the front of the seat to help redirect heat from the rear cylinder away from you. We put a set on our Nomad and even my wife can tell the difference in the heat she was feeling. They took enough heat off me that in the fall when it starts to get chilly I almost take them off to feel some engine heat.

Thanks 2Paps for the "user" review. I'm kinda leaning like you as well and the Kam's kit will be my last attempt to control the heat which hopefully after wrapping of the pipes and/or the RJS heat shield will take care of the issue. safe riding.
Have you had the mods done by Kawasaki? There was a mod done a few years back that added about 3/8" thick fiberglass insulation to the front and rear heat shields. One of the cheapest mods you can do to limit the heat on the Kawi's is block the air injection into the exhaust ports of the heads that is used for secondary combustion for unburned fuel. On the 1700's remove the right side air cleaner cover and in the upper left corner you will see a hole about 1/2 inch in diameter, get a #2 rubber stopper and ram in into the hole or better yet remove the inner cover and stuff the rubber stopper into the hose. If you do that then you won't have to worry about the stopper coming out and getting in the throttle body.
The KAMS system will make your bike run hotter because it seals the rad fan to the front cylinder which directs the air flow through the radiator and down under the bike. It also replaces the front heat shield and the radiator.
