Hot Engine Question
With all the issues with baggers running hot or not, would it be a good idea to use HD digital oil temperature gauge dipstick. I seems that this would be a simple solution if in fact your engine was running hot. I just purchaced an 06 UC and have felt the heat coming off the engine during heavy traffic. I did have the dealer install V/H slip ons and SE air cleaner with the remapping. I have to say that it seems to run great with just 300 miles on it.

Forget the dipstick...you have to be stopped and off to read the damn thing, so it's kinda late at that point, eh?
Better bet...go to Wally's Cycle World and get the oil temp guage that replaces the ambiant air temp guage (a useless device...we all know what the air around us is like!), that way you can constantly monitor oil temp underway.

If you don't have anything to do with your extra money then get the temp guage dipstick. I would have to agree with nmfxstc and install the oil temp guage in the dash and lose the ambient temp guage. It only shows you the temp inside the batwing and it never indicates the correct temp.
Good luck and congrats on your new ride. Post some pics when you get a chance.
