[ST] Fairing mods- HEAT

["CAPT Howard S. Serlick USNR" <serlick@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

All:
	I made serious mods to a set of crashed fairings and belly pans and it 
definitely works.....as long as you can keep moving. I actually made a second 
and different design for the right fairing to get the heat from the header pipe 
out from behind the fairing during the Summer months. I'm about to re-spray this 
fairing Caspian Blue to match my new '03.
	NOTHING will solve the simple reality that when at a standstill, the 
considerable heat from the engine is going to rise straight up and cook whatever 
is in its path.
	I have long considered the ST a "three season" bike, even though I ride it year 
'round. Having read the comments from BMW riders about their "K" bikes, I 
consider this a cold (or hot) fact of a running a liquid cooled engine.
	I told Jeremy in a private e-mail that "If you can't take the engine heat from 
the ST, maybe he should consider an air conditioned automobile." I wasn't kidding.
Enjoy your week-end riding,
