Well, it was bound to happen, somebody finally came out with the holy grail of motorcycle riding, the real air conditioning (also produces heat)!
Company is Entrosys from Israel. They sell in USA through:
www.bikeairusa.com
There are also a couple of nice test rides posted on their website from Motorcycle Sport Touring Association. Basically, it says it works as advertised.
So, in a nutshell it is a true air conditioning. It utilizes solid state technology which is different from regular air conditioning used in cars and homes. Apparently it does not drip water! It is a universal design, seems well engineered and should easily fit on the back seat of F6B or maybe the rear rack. It has to be run to the battery, than the air is pushed through insulated plastic hose to rider. It comes with a special vest which has air channels in it, so air conditioned (or heated) air gets circulated against the body. The rider needs to wear a regular jacket over it.
Here are the links to reviews:

I saw these on internet in 2010, but nothing happened until now. It seems like it took them a few years to engineer it properly.
Bad news is the price, msrp is $1499, however in one review it says if you call to order and say you saw it on MSTA review you may get it for $999. Not sure if that's true, though.
Could be the ultimate farkle in 90+ degree weather, or even in colder climate as machine also produces heat!
Let me know what you guys think
The following two pictures are of earlier prototypes and they don't show the current cover used in mounting the unit:
