I have just about completed the mods on my 2012 Harley Heritage Softail Classic. I was hoping to cool the bike down from the lean stock setup. I installed the following:
1) a FL-XIED-10 fuel enricher.
2) a K & N high flow filter (same shape as stock)
3) a Rush 3" slash cut slip-on exhaust with 1 3/4 inch baffles
4) a Vance and Hines FuelPak 3 fuel management device - I flashed the map for 3" V&H slip-ons with standard baffle (the closest fit I could find for my exhaust).
The V&H FP3 has a sensor function that let's you view various data, including engine temp. Here is what I got at 93 F outdoor temperature on a summer day.
260-265 F engine temp at 70 mph
386 F after riding for 20 minutes and letting the bike idle for 15 minutes
The engine oil temp (measured with a candy thermometer in the oil filler neck) after turning the bike off was 225 F.
Do these temps seem about right or are they excessive?
Thanks,
Wayne
