I'd keep an eye on the ignition if it is in the nose cone, as I doubt this is over with. Might take a while to happen again, but I doubt it is just a colder plug solution.
We run evo motors here in Texas at over 100 degrees at 80 MPH and they don't overheat.
My preference is a module mounted on the frame versus one in the nose cone.
Glad you're up and running.

I am considering either going back to stock ignition, maybe a SE module or going with the Dynatek2000i.
I use to own a 1998 Dyna and in 162,000 miles I never had an overheating problem.

With troubleshooting, you have to find out what it’s not to find out what it is. Methodically eliminating potential issues will lead you to the problem. I don’t think it over-heated either unless you were sitting in traffic on a hot day which you were not.
Good luck.

Question about the cone
The reason I ask is because I am just getting ready to replace my ignition and I dont want to set myself up for any heat problems if I can avoid it.
