[QUOTE="falcon, post: 416286, member: 356"] Thank you for the feedback. (and thanks to others for the encouragement) As far as the full naked look - I could never detect ANY heat from the bike and it spent more time at 2 bars then it does with the fairing on...and it NEVER got to 4 bars...and I can't even recall the fan ever coming on. I do have the stock '04 heat blanket under the tank. I do want to do more than just install the Gen II radiator. I would like to control the airflow behind it, generally deflect it and move it out to the sides as quickly as possible. I see the new fairings have much larger openings on the sides. I will modify mine if I need. Considering a holeshot header to eliminate the cats. Do these headers come with some kind of thermal coating or do people add that separate? I know from my car modding days that thermal wrap works best but it traps moisture and will significantly shorten the life of headers. I think this bike has the potential to be everything I thought it would be when I bought it in August of 2003. I'm not giving up on it yet! [/QUOTE]
