Re: Engine Heat from Fairing

<< Well, Purchasing day (P-day) is here and I finally got around to taking the
Sprint for a test ride this past weekend.  The bike is sweet, but one
negative I found with it was the heat escaping from the fairing.  When I
rode, the ambient temperature was below 80 DEG., but my legs were sweating
when I got off.  While I know most on the list say that the heat is
noticeable, but not a problem, I can not imaging riding with that heat
during August in Houston.  What is the opinion of those that have lived
with the bike in sweltering heat and humidity? >>

Dear Jeff,
I have found the heat to be a problem only when going slow, in temperatures 
in the 80-100F range, but above that the heat is noticable even at freeway 
speeds. I am told that the heat goes away if the belly pan is removed, which 
is easy to do, and doesn't spoil the appearance much, but haven't tried it 
myself yet.
