I love everything about my bike. I do not think it has heat issues at all, when i was home on R&R leave from Iraq, I was riding on 95 degree days and no issues, if the cyl cutoff cut on, I didnt notice at all. The only thing I do NOT like is the sewing machine sound. I have a pair of Kloc Werks 4 in slip ons waitin, gonna run that for a while and then finish the stage 1. All of you have nice rides, I hope you like em as much as I like mine. Stay safe everyone and keep the shiney side up.
