No heat from vents on GL1800

imported post

I bought my first GW, a 06 GL1800 base model, back in June 09. I am the second owner. I've put about 12K miles on since. Most of this riding has been during the warm months. Now that it's getting cooler where I live, I'm interested in getting a little heat from the vents. However, I cannot feel any heat from the vents. I know there's no blower obviously, but while traveling, I can't really feel any air coming from the vents at all. I've checked during in-town driving and at highway speeds.

I had the plastic off while installing a CB a couple months ago and found that there is a "ductwork" that connects the vent inlet at the front of the bike to the actual vent, running through the center fin over the radiator. It seems something should be coming through.

I can't see that anything has been inserted in the ductwork that would obstruct airflow. I don't have the comfort package, so maybe there is a baffle or something inside that *would* open with a flip of a level that the comfort package has. I just don't know. So, can anyone tell me, should I expect to feel air coming through these or are they complete for looks only?

Thank you.
