Yes they are! One thing I wish I could change is the color of the "board"
that the LEDs are mounted on. Its white and REALLY sticks out on a
black bike as you can tell. I wish the backer-board was black so it
wouldn't stand out like it does.

The heat issue & going into limp mode was one of the reasons I got rid of my 110 CVO SG, I did a fair bit of riding in London & although nowhere near as hot here as over the pond it just couldn't cope with summer temps here & it really became an issue, not too mention being very uncomfortable to ride, I fitted a fullsac X exhaust system which made a bit of difference, hopefully there won't be similar issues with the S, lack of batwing fairing & lowers should make all the difference as the heat should be able to escape.

 

Have to say though it really likes our current temps, went out for a ride on Sunday & it was 9 degrees C 👍👍

 

All you need to do to control your bike's heat management system is roll your throttle forward while sitting and idling. The cruise light will come on your dash. If its green you had it enabled. Twist it and hold it til it turns orange, it's then off. Check your owners manual to double check this procedure in detail, it's in there. When stuck in heavy traffic on very hot humid summer days, I've also simply shut the engine off until I see the traffic start to move, that only takes a moment as well.

 

It's the first thing I turned of on my Street Glide, and I'll make sure I turn it off on her SlimS. Nothing more aggravating than a cylinder shutting down and going into limp mode.

 

Do you think that batwing will work on a Slim with 4.5" pullback risers?

 

But it is done for engine protection from the heat... why would you turn it off? Best thing that worked for me were the fans.... with those on, bike is happy is that stop-and-go traffic. I thought about the oil cooler for some additional protection.

Anywho... back to normal programming.

If anyone has part numbers for baffles that would fit into the stock mufflers, please share the info... I want a little bit more bark from the stock exhaust. I like the looks, so not reason to change it for looks alone.

And looking at the catalog, there is no SE slip-ons options for our bikes, which makes me think that we already have the SE mufflers on these puppies... So I just need to replace the stock baffles with something more free-flowing...

 

You are using the 1.75" baffles in the stock mufflers?? If so, what part number for the baffles?? Sound clip?

 

These motors have survived a long time without it. They can withstand pretty high temps. Having a cylinder shut down when I need the motor to move is unnerving.

 

I shut mine off my Fatboy S on Day 1. I didn't like all the shaking at traffic lights. It's hot here but most of the time I'm moving along, a few minutes at traffic lights doesn't make the bike too hot. I switch it off when waiting for bridges to go up and down and when freight trains go by.
