Is the engine temp even relevant? AFAIK, there aren't any mechanical issues related to engine heat with the Rushmores or the M8's.
There's a guy (MilesOfTexas) on the Rushmore forum that just turned over 100,000 miles on his un-modded, un-tuned, non-de-catted 2014 Limited with no engine problems at all.
I'll never approach that kind of mileage on mine, but I'm goin' with his attitude regarding just keeping it stock & not worrying about it.

Just ran my first Vtunes with TTS on my 2018 Roadglide 107.Air temps mid 50s...ran a datamaster histogram when I got back and engine temps stayed in the 345 degree range all the time.I noticed my lower vents were closed so I opened them and will go try again today.Seems awful hot. Bike is stock (cat removed) with stock mufflers.
