The bike is unchanged save for the paint.
Honda isn't known for hidden, incremental updates. They usually do something more involved, like when the ST changed from the 1100 to the 1300. It was far, far more than just a bore/stroke update.

+1 on no changes.
The heat issue is not really an issue. There are insulation kits for those that are bothered, but most owners don't bother. The C14 that I rode at the COG Nationals last summer had a ton more heat on my lower legs. Nice bike, BYW.

I'm pretty sure Honda's fix for the engine heat issue with the ST1300 was the 2006 FJR.

If you're interested in the ST1300, take a stroll over to ST-Owners.com and ask there.
I've had no real issues with the heat on my ST, and I live in SE Louisiana.
Any big motor will put out heat, and the ST is no worse than anything else I've owned.
IMHO, it seems as though it is the owner's tolerance of the heat is where the difference lies.
Honda did add a cover for the opening on each side where the shock preload adjuster sits.
That and paint color are the only changes for '08.

It must vary between examples because my '05 FJR puts out less heat than my buddy's '05 ST1300. We measured 'em with a thermocouple on a ride together (same ambient, same exact ride). His cooks one leg right through leathers and boots! So bad that he made his own winglets to direct air in a couple of areas.

FWIW, my Blackbird puts out a lotta heat and I solved the problem by not wearing shorts.

Likewise, with the Sprint. Anybody want to buy a pair of First Gear ventilated textile pants?

The heat issue is not really an issue.
It was for me.
Reasons I got rid of my ST1300 after 10,000 miles:
Hot tank (hot to the touch)
Hot fairing pocket
Heat blowing on lower legs (not tolerable with temps over 85)
Heavy, wore me out riding brisk all day
ugly from the rear, scooter like looks, whats up with those pipes?
sounds like the Jetson mobile not a motorcycle.
When Yamaha addressed the heat/valve issues with the '06 model I knew it was time to get one. I have 14k miles on my FJR this year and love it!

I love mine and have not experienced any heat issues. It seems rather cool compared to the ZX14 I owned. I think it mainly depends on the rider but I/mine don't have that issue and I love the bike and wouldn't take another bike for it.

I've had no heat issues on my ST1300 and know some that have. The latest news is that a starter valve syncronization will help the heat problem, if it exists. My '82 Gl1100 throws off a lot more heat than my ST1300.

The excess heat issue is a non-issue at least with me.

If you wear any kind of protective pants the heat issue really isnt an issue. I have an 05 model and have logged almost 20K with it. The first two days that I owned it the temp was 97* on Sat and 104* on Sun. I was too warm with my riding jacket as I only owned a winter jacket. After I purchased a FG mesh jacket it would still be HOT outside but with the windscreen in the DOWN position and moving it was all right.

I think they have set a corporate record for a revision!

Yes, apparantly nude riders have noticed a warm sensation by their legs.
