Default Will this make her run HOT???

Hey Guys, found a good place to hang my tool bag but was wondering if it will block the air flow enough to make her run hot. What do you think? Should I move it down lower?

I would move it to the bottom in reference to where you have it now. Just move it down the tubes to the bottom. I have mine there as do others and I have not had a problem with it there.

+1 on not putting it there, restricting airflow and potential for fender damage.

Yea, I think I'll move her down. It just stayed so Clean up and out of the way. It clears the fender really well but just blocks the fins too much.

I would not put it there simply for the blockage of airflow as you mentioned. In southern Arizona, that would never ever fly but you might possibly get away with it in a cooler climate. (still wouldn't)

I would worry more about the fender then cooling, but both are concerns.

Also, it just kinda looks out of place in my opinion.

wouldn't the Ultra's fairing and lowers block more airflow than that little tool bag?
