A seat cushion that will provide ventilation around your back, you'll be plenty warm. There are inverters that will convert 6v to 12v to run small things like phone charger. I got one at radio shack a few years ago but haven't hooked it up yet. Patience that body is going to create a lot of drag and the wind in the Midwest never stops. Look forward to hearing how your adventure goes. Extra coolant incase a leak developes.
