Agree 100%!
Mine never gets over 95deg even when hitting 6000-7000rpm in 5th @ 24psi

Everyone going on about fans are way off the mark, fans do not cool the engine when your moving (unless your doing 10mph lol). You get 1000x more airflow from moving than any fans will ever be able to give lol

If your hot it's because either your cooling system is not perfoming well (blocked rad, hoses, etc..), your lean (fuelling needs sorting), or your head is not seating 100% to the block (not much you can do about that easily).
