Default Heat Build Up When Using Shock Covers.

Hey guys I have heard some rumors about heat building up when you use shock covers on your ATV. Have any of you had this problem? I just ordered a pair of dirt skins and want to make sure I don?t hurt anything. There going on a 450r with a stock suspension. I used the nylon ones on my scrambler when I had it and they seemed to work fine. But I wasn't sure with the new ones being neoprene.


Thanks for the help
Nez

The reservoir at the top is still exposed, and that is more important than anything else. I could only see covers as being a problem if you were MXing or something like that, where the shocks were getting an extreme workout.
