It's better to have the bike level (straight up)to get the best reading from the bottles in my opinion. I'll let the street fighter guys answer the cooling question.

If you're thermostat is working properly it won't run any different with or without the fairings.

+1 on that , some of us in colder climes use a RAD guard just to keep the temp up and as stated the thermo if it is working as planned we will not cook the engine but having it work as it should.
