Default where is the cool!!!!!!!!!!!!

So I go and buy mobil 1 v twin, and take the 07 with 2000 miles for a ride. Same temp! so where is this great cooling effect I read about? To be fair the bike did run easier. Mike.

I wouldn't have expected the bike to run cooler but should be able to withstand hotter temps. I live in the high desert (So Cal) where temps consistently exceed 100. I use amzoil, new high flow breather, pipes, and a power commander with a jagg oil cooler on both twin cam bikes.
