[QUOTE="wfooshee, post: 416162, member: 6354"] Falcon, like Iggy says, just changing to the curved radiator isn't gonna do much to help, the airflow is determined by the fairings. You can't even fit later fairings to the bike, the bolts are in different places. Do you have a heat blanket under the tank? I ride in Florida, and that by itself made the difference for me, kept the tank cooler, which kept my legs cooler. All the other "fixes" to Gen-I bikes, like holes in the panel under the radiator, and probably even your bikal nudity, reduce airflow through the radiator. Yeah, that reduces heat received by the rider, but the heat the rider felt was heat coming out of the engine, and that's fairly important. Redirecting the air exiting the radiator is what you want to do. Maybe you've got a pal who'd let you disassemble his Gen-II fairings to examine? See what you can copy out of them? [/QUOTE]
