I have a JES oil gauge on my 09 FLHP (103 with stage 1) and it reads 220-240 under normal conditions. It got to ~280 on a hot day stuck in PDX traffic...
I dont have a guage for oil temp for the same reason, I would be obsessing over it. The oil is hot thats all I can tell ya. Put an oil cooler on it and dont worry about it.
my TC88 usually runs around 230 at highway speeds. The hottest I have seen it was 260 on a hot day stuck in traffic. That is the only time my heat mgmt system kicked in. On my 06 the heat mgmt lowers idle to 650 in an attempt to keep it cooler.
I have a fairing mounted gauge.

Think my 2011 Limited with Stage 1 runs a little hot. Its normally in the 220-260 when warmed up and moving depending on speed and outside temps. I run Mobil 1 due to occasionally getting stuck in summer traffic. Saw 290 last month when stuck for 30 minutes in 90 degree temps. Motor seemed fine except seemed to be starting to get a bit sluggish. Fine after it cooled down.
