Update. I had a long ride to Florida this weekend to test it out. Before I got out of Atlanta, hit a wreck and was in stop and go traffic, then sitting still for 45 mins.. The temp was around 94-96. The temp gauge only raised to one bar above mid.. Last time I was in that it went to the top. The bike is running much cooler, not saying it is either the coating or the cat, but both seem to work good together. The color is the same, nice and shiny. I did hit 130 at one point and cruised around 90 most of the time. I also hit some Florida liquid sunshine a couple of times which took the gauge down below the half way point. Sitting on it in stop and go traffic is much better. Power is more even and harder on the lower rpm. My gas mileage stayed the same as far as I can tell, was cruising faster this time.
