A question to all. I am working on making a set of stainless steel crash bar (permanent engine guard) covers. Speaking from a cooling perspective, has anyone used covers on their 1500 in hot , warmer weather?

I see cruisers with permanent covers that are vented but if I were to install (see photo) permanent covers will this cause my engine to overheat in warmer weather? My thinking is not due to the bike being liquid cooled and the covers are not blocking flow to the rad, just the sides of the engine. I could have some slots carved into covers as a design feature but is it really necessary?

Any thoughts?
