I used to wonder about this, back in the day I had that VW. I'd imagine traveling at a rather high rate of speed, say...the speed of light..in outspace, backwards. If I flipped my headlights on, would they shine, or just glow? One night I had it figured out, but when I awoke the next morning, I realized I really didn't have it figured out.

My all time best VW story goes wayyy back in the day. To cure boredom during the long Upstate NY winter we would take my buddies bug down the biggest hill we could find either during or right after some lake effect snow when the roads were covered. We'd run that bug down as fast as we could hit the parking brake and that baby would spin like a top, bouncing form side to side off the snow banks.  :nixweiss: Hey what do you want it was a lifetime ago  :huepfenjump3:   :drink:

To get back to the ORIGINAL subject!

If I get an infrared temp gauge what are the "normal" temps for a 110?  I see many postings comparing them to stock engines, comparing those with a race tuner to those without, etc.  Is there any agreement regarding a particular temp that the bike simply should never exceed?   What is the most critical, oil temp, head temp, exhaust temp, etc?

Thanks!

In short, No. No one has any idea. Everytime we figure out the hottest an engine can run, Harley produces one that runs hotter. We went though all of this in April / May of last year and never came up with a definitive, or even ball park, answer.

Has anyone previously or does it make sense to start a "temp poll" based on like model bikes and engine sizes? Anyway possible it would be useful as a crude benchmark? Or is my FNG shining thru??  :confused5:
