It can make your credit card overheat.

But unless your blocking air flow, you'll be fine.

It has always been said chrome your engine and be prepared for overheating.No problem here not a chrome lover at all.Much rather be riding than polishing.

I've never heard that, if anything I would think on a sunny day it may help you since you're reflecting a lot of sun as opposed to absorbing it.
