Yep, my Roadglide is right about at those numbers. Really hot days, I've been at 360 degree head temps with 330 engine temps. Usually 30 degrees between the two.
I've also noticed the variances in temps verses where my feet are. And I always run cooler with my feet on the floorboards. I assume it's because the wind gets channeled towards the motor. Feet on highway pegs actually block wind.
I know that my Roadglide is 30 degrees hotter with my lower fairings attached than when I take them off.
I am not surprised. You should see the temperature difference if you add soft lowers. Big change with the lowers but you'd typically take them off in the summer. As far is the difference he is seeing regarding where his feet are, I don't think it is of any concern.
I made the mistake of getting an oil temp gauge for my 07 Ultra many years ago and all I did was look at it and worry. I have had several bikes since then, never installed a gauge or looked at the Power Vision gauges, and never worried about heat again and never had a heat related issue on any of them.
