OK, I have watched on the forums for some time now the discussions about the heat issue and what everyone offered as a solution. At the same time I also looked up the oil leak issue due to the fact that I did have a leak.
I prepared the bike to drop off at my dealership and since they would be tracing an oil leak I decided to leave the fairing and lower cowl off of the bike. The ride to the dealership was about 25 miles, through city traffic and some freeway.
Let's put it this way, yes it is an engine and yes it gets hot. I noticed no real difference from full dress to naked bike so I am not sure what the removal of just the lower cowls will have but I will try.
I do agree that the bike gets a little hot on the shins, but my V-Rod makes it a little hot on the bottom of my leg. As far as I can tell I am not going to get burnt. Sure cooler would be better, but I could drive a car, I guess....
