RE: over heating
You might want to have your oil pump pressure checked. Also, what oil filter are you using as the new filters might be restricting your oil flow. I am assuming your bike is carbed. Did you do any mods to the carb?

RE: over heating
Your intake flows somewhat more air than your stock one, but your exhaust flows way more. You couldn't have done a better job of making your bike lean if you tried. Which I guess you did, so good job. I don't know if you're referring to a 1996 bike or a 96inch bike but either way rejet or remap respectively.

RE: over heating
If you,ve never done anything with jetting of the carb, your aftermarket air cleaner and free-er flowing exhaust are definitely making it lean.

Also, Run the extra long HD oil filters your bike came from the factory with. Bigger filter holds more oil... better cooling.
Make sure it's the xlong filter for an EVO. The valving is different in the twin cam filters.
