My Harleys ran MUCH hotter when sitting at stoplights than my CB does, both brands air cooled, and I never had a heat related issue with any Harley motor in the last 25 years while living in Chicago. Honestly, I would have to be sitting in Nevada desert like heat at a stoplight for a really extended time before I would start getting concerned about overheating on the CB. I think this issue is more of a theoretical arguement than a practical concern-I would say to worry less and ride more. The air fins on the CB motor are very well designed and were one of the biggest manufacturing challenges for Honda when deciding to produce our bikes. I think they did a great job.
