Hi Steve. Love those red rims! Maybe we could take a ride out some time if youre not to far from Vail. Az is great, ride almost 365, apart from the snow on new years eve. That sucked! John

Hi Steve.
Maybe on the AZ shows. How about you? Do you have any overheating issues with all that black on the motor etc? Every bike I have had has been black or ended up black at the end of the day. The softail is red but im concerned about the heat issue here in Az. Any problems? John

No I haven't had any over heating issues I am about 45 minutes south of you and it's typically 10 degrees cooler here in the summer but I think I am going to put an oil cool on my bike this year. Also the 2 inch tank lift helps keep the motor a little cooler. But let me know if you end up going to bikeweek.
