Cooling 110's Extreme Heat
« on: May 23, 2011, 11:34:19 AM »
I bought a Road Glide Ultra SE about a month ago.  I had the dealer install a set of V&H monster ovals slip-ons and a Dynojet Power Commander V module.  I still have the lowers on the bike.  Riding in traffic at Myrtle Beach the bike wanted to die, I believe because of the heat.  That issue maybe one of the cyclinders shutting down, which I understand is typical. The other issue is just the extreme heat. The three hour ride home from Myrtle Beach with a 90 degree day you could fry an egg on my right leg jeans.  I know removing the lowers will help a lot.  What else can I do or have the dealer do to get the bike to run a lot cooler?  The dealer is not very sophisticated, so details will be much appreciated.  I understand removing the catalytic conventer will help and there are ECM changes that can be made, but does anyone have specifics?

Fullsac X-Pipe (gets rid of cats), Big Sucker A/C, 1.75 Fullsac baffles & TTS.  Get a good tuner and it will make a ton of difference.  I road 4 hours to a highly recommended tuner and it was well worth it.  Also, removing the lowers makes a HUGE difference, especially for my BSR.

I ride in triple digits and have never had my leg fairings off (even though I have the quick release on them).....no problem.

Jcz,

What bike do you have? I have the XPipe, 1.75" Fullsac baffles, TTS and leg fairings removed. This week in Kentucky on one of our rides, when I would put my foot on the highway peg I could feel the heat coming thru my chaps from my calf to the back of my knee. I have run the Vtune but have not had the bike tuned yet. I would really like to re-install the lowers as they block a lot of the wind and make longer, super slab type rides much for comfortable for me and my BSR. Thanks. Rob

You are one tough motorskooter     :cherry:  ..   I've done everything but removed the lowers (won't) and the old girl is still hot.

I have the 10 SESG and the wife rides an 09 Street Glide (with leg fairings).....year round.  

Her's has a 96" and the heat seems to bother her more than me, so even though we removed the cat, Fullsac 1.75 baffles and TTS.....Jim wrapped her header with exhaust wrap then put the heat shields back on.  Seems to have done the trick for her.  We rode in triple digits a number of times last summer on our touring rides.

I think the tune (the tuner!) has a lot to do with it but here's my dyno sheet, you can see the A/F ratio is dead on....  http://www.cvoharley.com/smf/index.php?topic=44545.0

Would not take the lowers off. Change pipes and synthetic oil.

I apologize for not saying Hi.  I was right to the point.  Thanks for the replies, I had planned on having the dealer install V&H Power Duals with no catalytic converter.  I looked into the Fullsac X-Pipe "B", they are actually a lower price than the V&H Power Duals.  Does the black ceramic pipe on the Fullsac show underneath the stock Harley heat shields?

Also, does anyone know of a good Dynojet Power Commander V map to use, running with the Fullsac and V&H Monster Ovals, to run the bike at a lower temperature?

Eliminating the cat, free flowing exhaust, and an engine tune that is a little richer will help big time.  It's still gonna run hot.  Welcome to the world of 1909 air cooled technology
