If you know anything specific I should check for as far as it bing too hot, let me know.
Yea, well we don't need to go over the advisability of a HUGE air cooled motor again, not now anyway since it is too late! :roll:

I was mostly just picking on you (gasp!) but when you get a chance to read through your owner's manual, it might tell you what that thing is. While the air cleaner cover will get rather hot.....expecially after the bike sits for a minute.......like everything near/above the engine.....I would think that it would NOT get hot enough to burn you.

All this is just my wild imagination, mind you, because I would never go near one of those beasts, much less ride or own one. :whistle:
