JD i like the looks of the lower scoop.....but it blocks the air to the oil filter housing that cools the oil quite a lot ,water pump and the bottom of the motor all those areas have fins on them to cool things off......im not sure i would want one of those.....im having the same deal going on about the crome covers i put on the 83 at the back of the motor compartment ....they look great but i can tell they trap heat .....im about to discide that they are sator cookers .....on the other hand they make good winter gear for riding .....i dont know :headscratch: :mrgreen:
