Hot Ultra?

Hot Ultra?
I came back from a ride with my granddaughter and noticed when I shut off the bike a strong oil/burnt smell. I took out my trusty pyrometer and lazered pointed the rear cylinder head which read 236 degrees F and front cylinder head was 195. The ambient temp is 75. I'm new to Harley this is my first summer. Is this bike running hot or is this normal. The ride was about 14 miles of hiway.

yup, hot.
it's an air/oil cooled motor so close to your thighs.
all the heat is right there, it is not carried off to a radiator like on a liguid cooled motor.
go shoot the temps on your car by the headers and...
make sure the kids are wearing long pants to protect them from the radiating heat
