Does anyone know how the Firebolts handle heat dissipation and airflow with the GP-style full fairings? Thanks!

i have the full fairing, and the only heat mod made for my 12r is the headers are wrapped. other than that, I have no heat issues at all. You'd be surprised at how much airflow the full fairings allow.

Thanks Mastersapper, I was hoping that was the case. Do the header wraps make a noticeable difference in performance or just heat dissipation? I was planning on getting a right-side-scoop from ABS to help with rear cylinder cooling...

The RSS will probably only serve to make your cooling fan last longer.

Honestly the guy who owned the bike before me added the header wrap, so I can't answer that for you. I can tell you he had the left scoop off the bike. I did put that back on. the bike runs the same as far as I can tell.
