80* here in Florida today so me and the g/f took a 200mi ride (round trip) to Anna Maria Island. She to soak up the sun, me to read a book under the shade. Great day. only thing wrong with it was how hot my bike ran..installed an oil temperature gauge a while back b/c I wanted to get an exact reading. I am running stock pipes w/xIEDs installed. I have Spectro Gold in the crank case, Spectro gear oil in tranny and HD Formula + in the primary. ON the highway cruising at 65 -70, the temp got up to 250*, soon as I hit a few lights in Bradenton, she was pushing 300* and the heat management kicked in. I was hoping the xIEDs would have reduced the temp more. Oh well, price you pay for owning a big ol' air cooled engine. Time for an oil cooler.
