There really isn't a good fix. 1st - make sure you have the correct heat 
shield installed. Mine had a thick quilted material which was preventing 
airflow. I pulled this off and had triumph order another shield. The new 
one which should be on most ST's is rather thin and allows more air to pass 
between the fairing and pipe. You are looking for around 10mm of clearance 
between the pipe and fairing, so also check the fairing mounting brackets 
and see if they can be moved out a little.

I think the 2000's have a pipe that is bent slightly more inboard, so it 
will not be a problem on newer bikes.
