I will take more time to read more of the article later. 

But some friends and I have brain stormed how to wrap tubing around the muffler under the shielding then rout tubing under our outer layer too keep us nice and warm on winter days.

Yep, I've toyed with the idea of ducting some of the warm air from the radiator up to me.  I'll more than likely do nothing though.  There are very few days I've been very uncomfortable on the Valk.  She protects me pretty good if I'm dressed for it.  Although I can remember one memorable ride with Bob B. when the cold soaked in on both of us (before Bob went electric).  The stop in Whitney at about O:dark in the morning for a hot cup did absolutely nothing to warm us. LOL  Finally after the sun had been been up for a couple hours we stopped on the side of the road and laid out on the rocks in our leathers like a couple of lizards sunning themselves.  That did the trick.

That one was not even noteworthy temperature-wise Allen.  If I remember right it was quite cold and dark when we left Dallas, but the sun was up when we arrived at your balmy southern clime! LOL
