I played around with a 1995 CB250 nighthawk. It might as well be thought of as a 1960's bike, old school technology. Ambient temp in TN gets HOT. I found the same thing Alan did = air cooled motors will overheat unless you have some extra way to cool them. Once shrouded you will need extra fans to get the air across the cooling fins. The little motors don't have much electricity to spare so will have to watch amperage draw if you use auxiliary fans.
