Have the choice of either but am trying to fit as much weight saving fibreglass to my new S1 so was wondering what difference to cooling fitting the fg cowling items would make. Im assuming that the flywheel cowling isn't an issue but what about the cylinder cowling - how important a role, being made of metal, does this play in heat loss?
Cheers
steel or fibreglass engine cowlings?

I run carbon fibre on a TS1 without issue and MB's latest cowls are plastic.
Turn On, Tune In, Cop out!
