Too Hot
« on: July 27, 2012, 08:20:48 AM »
Something seems to be wrong with the heat output of this 110 motor on my 20011 FLHXSE2.  I have the complete Fulsac stage 1 kit on it and it doesn't seem to make that much difference.  Much hotter than my 2012 103 motor on my Ultra which has the Fulsac upgrade as well.  I am sure this has been discussed before.  Only solution is to poor water on my leg and the female passangers love it. >:( :-\ :soapbox:  Any solutions suggested out there?

Looking for modification tips for the FLHX SE2 if you have any.

The 110" motor, even when the cat is removed and properly tuned runs much, much hotter than the 103".  Do a search...there's enough on this forum to keep you reading about it until winter. ;)

I have done it all and the best thing I have found is to remove the lower fairing. I know you want to keep the speakers but if you want it cool enough to enjoy they have to go.
Day light and dark difference.

just a thought

I agree removing the Lowers is the best thing to do. But trimming the Vent doors will help a little.

You can also remove the adjustable vents completely.

LEI live in Florida.  It's hot here !     I took my lowers off and it made a hued difference.  I dont miss the speakers, I really didn't think they did too much anyway.  I have the fulsac with a good tune and some cams.   Really not too bad.  Removing the lowers made it a whole lot better.   You can always put them back on when it cools off.   I don't think I will till I sell it.   I like the look without them and I get some more leg room. Good thing I have a big closet.  :)
