Default 2016 Freeway runs hot 257 degrees

Already lifted the tank, added deflector wings, ultracool oil filter and Amsoil 60w oil. Any suggestions?

My wife's Freewheeler is much cooler after recent upgrades:
  • Arlen Ness Big Sucker air cleaner which retains the factory cover
  • CAT gutted from header
  • Cobra 909 slip on mufflers
  • Dyno and tune

New to air cooled or "twin" cooled bikes?
