need some help with overheating

ohhhh he rides the hell out of it! i think that is the main issue... i have had to tear this sucker down and rebuild the whole thing! but now it runs like a RAPE APE!!! and he rides it like he stole it... hell since i have not charged him anything he practlicly has! i am going to stick a monster oil cooler on it... slap in some 60 weight and see what happens!

Serious engineering mistake there. Hell my lawn mower holds more than 2 Qts. of oil. That electric fan that someone posted here would be like taking a squirt gun to a forest fire and an oil cooler would be of little or no help. Rear cylinder is probably shutting down due to the nose cone area getting so hot it's messing with the ignition. That 110" polished motor needs some oil, more like 3-1/2 qts at a minimum. Like someone mentioned on an earlier post, make sure that sucker is jetted properly as well.

You do need to get more oil in that bike. a oil cooloer with heavier oil will work but you will have the same problem as you are having now. Also check the jetting and and the fuel air mixture screw to the carb for adjustments. If the bike is lean if will run hot. I think that is correct. My chopper was doing something simular and the card was out of adjustment. I strongly suggest bigger oil bag with minimal 3.5 quarts or more.
