The intent was to help channel the heat further out the rear, less coming up from under the seat, less coming out from the gap between the fuel tank and the side panels.
The heat has to escape somewhere, somehow. Normally if the "air dams" are installed properly(which most aren't after the bikes first full service....lol) they will help channel most of the radiator hot airflow out the side vents.
