Yeah, 'er 'uh, Boys & Girls!
 In all my fervent communication on this Great Site, [smiley=bigok.gif] concerning the attributes of my 120 cu.in. "BIG MOTOR", I failed to mention what may be a bit of a setback, to some, that are pondering whether or not [smiley=nixweiss.gif] to pay up for MO' HORSEPOWER!  If you take this "Highway to Hell", [smiley=oops.gif] I mean "Horsepower", you will forfeit your future participation in Parades, and Slow, to No moving traffic.  These "BIG MOTORS"  must have HUGE air.  They get buku HOTTER than the 95 or 103 cu.in. Motors do.  Don't waste your money on "THE FAN", either. [smiley=thumbsdown.gif]  You must keep 'em IN THE WIND! [smiley=thumbsup.gif]  There endeth the lesson.  Later--HUBBARD

Experience speaking?? Meltdown or just roasted nuts? [smiley=sweatdrop.gif]

If it runs any hotter than my 103 SEEG, I'm thinking I can forget it.  This motor runs so hot in the summer that it is a literal pain in the butt (and inner thighs)  and you don't have to be in heavy traffic/stopped at lights either.  Might have to start riding way up Nawth more in the summer.  Har!

Can't say that ever remember the heat from the motor as being an issue.   [smiley=santa.gif]  Of coarse if it does seem a little hot, I just pack snow around the fins.  [smiley=smart.gif]

I am new to the site here, just found it a couple of days ago.

I have a 2002 Fatboy, which is pretty much a custom now.  

I have been looking to upgrade to JIM's 120 to replace the 95 I am currently running.  I found this post and it makes me start to think a little.  I don't really ride in any parades, but I do sometimes get stuck in slow moving traffic, like will happen in Myrtle Beach in a couple of weeks.  

How concerned should I be about the heat?

Thanks for any replies.

Hubbard - what is the thermal dynamics of aluminum - I believe it gets 30 times its own size when it gets HOT - add the extra potential for making heat - and you have yourself a roater oven between your legs cooking even more flesh off those already toasted thighs [smiley=wall.gif]

Hey JCZ..........I understand how they'll make my legs cooler, but what's the theory behind their making the engine run cooler?  I would worry that they would "trap" the hot air around the engine.  And I sure can't have the engine run any hotter!   [smiley=confused5.gif]     Spyder
