It is simple It gets less air flow.

It is more enclosed.

I only know because I just read about this in a Magazine.

Think about going with some Tru-Duals, I never checked mine with a heat gun but the hair on my legs is growing back now.

I'm poor so I did the Fullsac Conversion.

Give your rear cylinder a little richer fuel mixture and it will run a little cooler but like it was said, there is less air to cool things off.

That's a question I ask myself almost every time I read some of the posts on this forum, especially the DIY ones.
