Did some road testing and found that the engine ran hotter than I thought was too high to be good, although it was still in the operating range. So I cut an opening into the front fairing under the head light, this droped the operating temp to bellow the midle of the normal range. I also fabricated some ducting to direct the air toward the radiator. Tomorrow I will retest the new setup.
I have added some pictures
