Corbin Dual Touring Heated Seat
I'm curious if anyone has any experience with these seats as I picked up a used one for under half the price of new. The trunk pad is separate so would fit a Vaquero also

Don't worry about running at 3000 rpm for extended periods. It doesn't hurt a thing, plus you are right in that power band where you twist the throttle and you're gone :-)

I wouldn't block it off. When we install a BAK that vent hose is still supposed to be run from the engine to the air cleaner. There is no advantage to blocking it off.
