<VV> Hot Rear Bumper

[J R Read]

A couple weeks back someone asked about how hot a rear bumper should get.  I 
did not think too much about it at the time and just figured the engine 
perimeter seal might have some leaks.

Well, I just thought about it a few minutes ago after about a 12 mile ride 
on an 80F day in the convertible.  It gets pretty warm and I know my 
shrouding and perimeter seal are fine.  The bottom side of the bumper was 
hottest, but I could hold my fingers on it for 30 seconds or so before it 
became too uncomfortable to continue.  So, I'm guessing that the condition 
is normal.  I had just never felt the urge to check previously.
