Origin8or, your bike looks awesome.
That color is so dark but not totally black, its sweet!
If it is running too cool, that IS an issue as the motor is designed to operate at some minimum temperature and can stall or seize if ran like this for too long. You are going to need to pick up some duct tape or racers tape to cover some of the face of the vertical radiator when its running below its normal operating temperature.
I had problems with the stock thermostat causing my temperatures to fluctuate for no apparent reason. That problem has disappeared since I replaced it with an Aluminum thermostat replacement tube from my friend in australia. *Thanks Nick
Since the front mounts are a race only part you are going to have to get used to not being able to spend more than a minute or so at any stop if its a hot day. As long as you are moving above 45mph you wont have any overheating problems.

So what's the deal with the temperatue? If it's running too cool is it an issue some how? If I am stuck at a light it climbs steady up to 90+ and then drops down again when moving. good thing I don't use this bike to commute
