From NC here.
I have the vented lowers...keep them on year round. Just open the vents in the hot weather months.
I just also added the Freedom wings to replace the stock bat wings...adds a ton of air flow as well in the hot weather.

Cheech.. you might get more information if you do a SEARCH on the topic.. there's many posts regarding it
bottom line.. most people in the warmer states leave them on since they funnel the air over the cylinders and provide some "directed" cooling. Those in the cooler areas take them off for the summer, since the heat's not a consideration

I live in NYC area, I hit traffic all the time & it gets hot, I am going to remove them in about a month. Most of the guys in the club will do the same. I just ordered Saddle shields from Kuryakyn to displace the heat from the rear cylender.
