Are you a lawyer looking to start a class action suit against HD? Student writing a term paper? Engineer trying to develop something to alleviate the problem? A little more info might get some more serious answers. JMHO And an intro might help too.

The Victory never gets hot, it gets "pleasantly warm"

You know, I've never stuck my hand down there after a ride - I'm going to assume mine (both cylinder heads) gets hot too.

I almost had a heat issue riding in the desert in 112f temps.

I was tooling along for hours and all of a sudden I felt like I could pass out.

All this time I was blaming the Nut that connects the handlebar to the seat,...... but it was the cylinders fault the whole time ?....Wow !

Whuda thunk.
