Man looks great ,Id be concerned about the inside being an ice cube the next morning
Uh-oh, looks like you're getting one step closer to the Hawk........
Water temps up
On my KX 450 I did something similar and blocked off one radiator. Todays ride in the fluff the temps were between 146 to 188 pulling hard on the trail.
Got up to 217 when climbing. That tells me I could uncover both radiators for a long pull uphill. I believe this is where the engine temps need to be to not over fuel.

That's a nice job!
What kind of plastic and more importantly where do you buy it?
I used crazy carpet and plastic cutting board material last year as it was the only thing I could find in town.

I used rubber made containers last year worked ok after a coupler versions. not as good looking as this tho
That is a good looking cover. I have made something similar. My question is to the guys that are running a temp sensor, where are you putting it inline? Before the radiators after the head? Or after the radiators back into the motor. Not to hi-jack your thread. Just a question I thought of
Coolant outlet from the head
I could see the temp change when the thermostat opened or closed.
Happy with the increased engine temp due to the shrouding.
Air temp was 12 when we unloaded. With both radiators covered the warm up took 5 miles or so, then uncovered the small radiator and ran with that the rest of the day. Tonight drained oil to see if any fuel....NONE!
Most have put temp sensor on coolant outlet from head. I did the gman trick and tapped the thermostat housing to install the sensor at the base of the thermostat.
