The shroud is mandatory in the UK on the "s".
I would have thought that its impact would be on cylinder wall temperature
rather than cyl. head.
I have one installed but still see upto174 C on cyl. wall temp (max
allowable is 190 C).
I'm about to experiment with some deflector plates on the underside of the
clylinders in an attempt ot reduce the temperatures; otherwise the air from
hte shroud misses the underside of hte cylinders.
Not wholly convinced that the Europa 'snout' is that efficient.

PS price of hte shroud in the UK is 180. The 's' comes with them as
standard, but the agent takes them off and sells them back as an option at
180!!
