ok i live near dallas, and spend a lot of time commuting there. the problem is that when traffic stops, my bike is so close to overheating, and a couple of time i have had to turn it off while sitting in traffic because the temp gets so hot. so here is what i am going to do. i am going to buy that fabric that you wrap the headers on a race car with, that heat resistant stuff. i am hoping this will work, i will let you all know. i am also thinking about adding a second fan on the right hand side of the radiator, but we will see how much that costs.

ill let yall know how it turns out, and if i remember, ill take pics.

I'm not sure how exhaust wrap will help, since it's meant to keep the heat inside the pipes to optimize gas flow. Best bet - cut that cat converter out of your headers. It is pretty easy to do and your temp will drop at least 10 degrees.

exactly. it will keep the heat inside of the pipes, instead of letting it be right next to the radiator. or thats thethought any way. i dont have any issues whild moving, only whild sitting still in traffic.
