What temperature does the gauge rise to when you slow down?
A rise in temperature at lower rpm's when slowing down is not terribly unusual.
If it's not getting too hot perhaps there is more coolant in the system than it wants and letting some push out until the level stabilizes will do the trick. You don't need to have the coolant level all the way to the top of the radiator tank but only need to keep it above the top of the cooling tubes.
Maybe your overflow tube extension will do the trick.
