OK, I say it's a 2014 Street Glide, that exhaust was a leg burner no matter what I tried. But the Itch mud flap helped in the city.

Yes the TC's do run a lot hotter ,the M8's read hot as the heat sensors are closer to the exhaust though.

I know my M8 is a hell of a lot cooler than any of my TC's were. My wife has a 10 Tri Glide with heads, pipes, cams, a/c and tuned with power vision and it's still a lot hotter then my box stock Heritage 114.
