I don't know about lowers, but in this Texas heat, I'm pretty sure I'm going to end up relocating the coolant bottle before too long...

My lower legs are getting cooked as well now that the weather is warm.

I'm not sure that blocking off everything would be a good idea. The heat has to get out somewhere, and I prefer it lower vs upper area. If my shins get too warm, I just put my feet on the outer part of the pegs where the air flow is very strong. Flipping your lower scoops to shoot air inward will help a bit too.

I also would be careful about blocking the lowers as it may cause other heat related problems like melting plastic.  I had the heat shields on mine until a plastic gas filter I was using melted.  Luckily I noticed it before it completly failed.
