I have the 2nd Gen Flexiglass Race Fairings installed on my race bike and am having severe overheating problems. Once ambient temperature gets above 90f the bike will just not cool. At Willow Springs this weekend, the bike was 245f by the end of the race and was barely running.
Any body else having similar problems with these fairings? Any fixes? I'm gonna cook the motor if i keep running like this, not to mention the loss of power.

Interesting. The Gen1 stuff works so well. 100+F here, and I run about 210 on track.

It gets REAL hot soon as I put-put into pit. Often the temp light is on by the time I get to the paddock and kill-switch it.

I keep a fan on it in the paddock.
