Does anyone know if running boards will cause the engine to run hotter then without them.
I have heard they might, so just checking to see if someone has the answer.

Didn't notice any big difference...Love 'em!
Also, what engine, exhaust, and computer upgrade (if any) are you running. If I had to guess, I'd say you probably have a 110 engine with a rear cylinder heat problem. This can be an issue with those engines..
My trike is a 2005 Harley Ultra with 95" big bore kit, and a power commander.
I have never had the lowers installed. I also don't have a running hot condition, but do not want one. If the lowers are installed I don't know if that would cut down the air flow or not. As it's either warm or hot here, I don't know if installing them is a good idea.
I have the running boards and love them, did not notice any effect on the heat..........
