Default Lower fairing

How many of you take these off and does it make that much difference in the heat both to motor and rider?

yes I did on my 2011 RGU but this is the want ad section so probably not much tech traffic here. Many will say the lowers create air flow over the engine so it runs cooler but I have checked the engine temps via data logging with tts and with a hand held IR thermometer and both my right leg and my engine heads run cooler without the lowers.
