COULD SOMEONE PLEASE HELP ME !
Well I really lucked out and got the chance to ride a 07 for 3 1/2 Hrs. We were so happy to take it out. Thank GOD for friends in high places and good dealers. Well we took off and had no issue with trans sound. We jumped on the hiway and opened it up. We loved it. WOW ! Well after about 15 min I noticed my leg was getting hot. Didnt think nothing about it. We kept going. After about 45 min I had to pull over. My right leg was on fire. There was a super amount of hot air blowing on my leg. I had to put my leg way up to keep it from getting so hot. We took it back to the shop. The mechanic said they had to call the MOCO and they came out on a bike. They road it and said it was NORMAL. It was just a bigger motor. He told me the way to get it to cool down was to get a differant breather and exaust. To lean it up a bit and it would help. GOOD GOD ! Is this what Harley has come to ? Has anyone else had this problem with there 07's ?
What can I do to resolve this problem. Thanks guys for the help.

Same problem with the 06 of mine. Had to put a PCIII on it and richen it up a bit. Great ride now. It is a shame that you buy a new bike and have to spend more money to make it run cooler. EPA makes them set it up that way. By law they can not change it. You must do it yourself. PCIII also gives you more usable HP. Added 7-10 HP. Love mine.
