you must be generating some serious heat in your clutches,
venting !!!

easy to do at home, I just cut away the very end of my side panels,
it not just makes it easier to kick out snow and ice,
but it deffinately breaths better thru the whole area.
I've never had belts get wet and slip.
rt1000 incase your wondering.

I do need new boots. But it's also the ice up issues on the left running board.

I also installed the float kit as I thought this was suppose to help with heat. I will get the clutch side vent kit.

No matter what the left side will be wet with out the right boots. Even with a vent kit.

Even my xp does it with vent kit.

Bought klim boots and my foot is dry ..
If I would have waited a 1/2 a year the motor fist stompers would have been out and would have got them

from my HTC

never had a problem with over wetting of boots even with klim boots.... maybe it is a uncontrolable bodily function... just saying ....
