Friend of mine coated the whole engine compartment and seat bottom in the aluminum heat shielding wrap stuff they sell at napa auto. Also plain aluminum foil on muffler, fuel lines and tank.
Did a lot but the engine still got warm. It gets in the 120 range out here.
Had better results adding a small car radiator fan to the drivers side inside under the seat. He then used a hole saw and cut a bunch of holes then covered them with the chrome grill from a shopping cart. Tied into the solenoid for the stater gen so it only runs when the engine runs.
Engine and muffler runs cooler but also acts to cool your legs.

Would like to see some pic's I covered the bottom of the seat with the foil faced insulation that helped with the seat getting hot have been thinking about putting a 4 inch muffin fan on the side where the oil tank was with some kind of grill to pull air in the side and wrapping the muffler
