If your biKe has a fairing, this mod will help on torrid days.
Your K needs some panniers too (comes standard on RT, LT, etc...)
Cut some rectangular openings on front and rear sides of the "suitcases".
Insert a small fan(s) fitted radiator vertically mounted in each case.
Divert coolant flow from front radiator to the 2 smaller ones.
They must have a total heat dissipation rating equivalent to the front one. (Adjust fans speed accordingly).
Now all the heat is evacuated behind you.
I can already hear some complaining about the loss of stowage space.
