Re: Anodizing, cooling effect?
Almost all coatings effect cooling but most do not hinder heat dissipation to a large degree. Since the early days of motorcycles, the aluminum parts have been coated to protect against oxidation. The manufacturers PC or clear coat engine parts so it can't be too detrimental. The one problem with anodizing those parts is the majority of them are cast aluminum, which can be very difficult if not next to impossible to anodize due to their material makeup. SS
