| Did you previously install after-market pipes and have the carb re-jetted? If so, you may be running lean. A lean condition would cause the engine to run hotter. | |

| Had to remove stock exhaust to install some chrome covers on engine, no other modifications were done. | |

| Other than re-checking the seating of the pipes to the jugs to make sure the gaskets seated properly and flush, I'm stumped! | |

Could it be the chrome covers are retaining engine heat??  Look at what you have changed and work backwards. | |
