Engine temp.?

Engine temp.?
So, since installing a power vision, I've been monitoring my engine temp.,
And I'm curious as to what temps I should expect to see...
It's general 90*+ out when I'm riding, sometimes stop and go traffic,
Just looking for a round about avg I should expect to see for engine temperature. I've bounced from 225-250 while riding, and upwards into the 290's in stop and go traffic. Again, keep in mind it's 90-95* outside and I'm in the direct sun.
Any input is appreciated!

Those numbers, while normal, are disappointing to me. My last ride had a 120R and a set of Ward's fans and never ran hotter than 240˚ in even the hottest weather. Granted, it had a good power tune.
I kinda thought with the wet heads, these high temps would be a thing of the past.
I'll be getting another Power Vision soon and hoping a richer tune (and disposing of the cat) will cool things down.

He has a FLHX so no wethead for extra cooling. You may find your engine temps are cooler and should be with the CVO since you do get the benefit of the water cooling exhaust ports. But then again you have 7 more cubic inches of motor so they may run even hotter. I would be interested to know what the engine temps are on the 110" with water cooling system.

I monitor my engine temp with powervision also. 90 degrees out today and ride 75 mph on the freeway, i was at about 285 degrees. But my oil temp gauge showed 200. Normally at 70 something degree weather I'm at about 260-270 degrees. Curious as to what others get. I have Bassani RR 2into1 and FM billet AC, and PV tuner.
