    No real value to these pictures, but they look kind of cool. The guys at work got a new toy, err tool. FLIR i50 handheld forward looking infrared imager.

    I took a few pics before ride, bike just warming up and post ride...the imager maxs at 680F, the exhaust header temp hit that in a minute or so after start.

    Wow, amazing isn't it. Now we finally have confirmation that the exhaust components are the hottest parts of the bike.:D


    Just kidding around, actually they are pretty cool pics.:thumbsup:

    That is pretty nice! I noticed you can set the temp range, 2 questions

    why are the pics so small and
    can that be used on biological creatures?

    The pics are rather small, that's the size it creates. Yes, of course, it works on biologics. Take it on a night out and see who's 'hot'! :)

    It's used at the office to identify overloaded circuits or breakers that are micro arcing and need to be replaced.

    I did shoot both rads, but didn't copy the image before I returned the device. Both read about 180 or so, but more importantly were nearly the same temp showing the Y does it's job by evenly distributing the flow. Would be interested to see how the T does...but not enough to switch back on my bike.

    How much $ for that device? Is it something you may consider bringing to a camp out?

    It might be a fun thing to have :)

    Um, probably not, it's $6,000USD and in high demand, supply cannot keep up apparently.

    FLIR has some less expensive models, ~$2,000USD but I don't know what one gives up in features...
