Since I first posted this thread I have now added an aux oil cooler and completed auto tune runs on the new tune received from DynoJet. Did an 85 mile lunch run yesterday,
ambient temps were some where in the upper nineties on the way home (a 30 miles run to the house).
ET hit 257 oil temp maxed out at 230 which is about a 10 - 15 degree improvement after adding the aux oil cooler. These temps are still high compared to what I have seen most other people post on the forum although some have wet heads instead of straight air cooled motors so I assume that might account for some of their lower temps. This is what I have done:
- DK Customs deluxe tank lift kit
- Mighty Mite fans
- Cobra slip-on mufflers
- DK Customs Hi-flo air cleaner
- DK Customs remote oil filter kit
- De-catted head pipe
- DK Customs external breather kit
- Power Vision tuner with new DynoJet stage 1 tune and multiple auto tune runs
- DK Customs air deflectors
I am done throwing time and money at it. It is what it is. None of my previous Harleys ever ran this hot (2005 and earlier). I still have my old 1979 Shovelhead and the oil temp on it never goes over 185 deg. I am going to ride it and if it blows up I will just buy a Can Am.
Rant over.
