Hey guys, I was just wondering what a normal operating temp is for a 103" motor. I was having some overheating issues with my bike, after the BB kit was put on, but now that it has a decent tune, it seems to be running at about 280-300 according to the temp gun . You guys were right, it was running too lean. Wish I knew what the oil temp was, how can I measure it, without the expensive digital oil bag cap?  I still havent changed to synthetic oil yet I need to do that asap. I am still gonna get an oil cooler, probably the HD version that they are running on the cvo's. Thanks in advance for any input,   Tony

Wish I had one, its the dealers gun. Can you really check the oil temp with the same gun?
