If the temps start climbing, try backing the speed down under triple digits. 
Actually too high of speed creates excess heat that the airflow is not enough to cool. Anything above somewhere around 35 MPH, the fans don't do anything to help. But traveling near the 75 MPH limit shouldn't be a problem.

Just did 600 miles in 102+ with no problems. Even had a grill full of asphalt from a major road defect for about 100 of those miles before I stopped to clean it out. Never saw more than 202 on water temp. and that was in town traffic. Go or it and enjoy he ride!!
