Stock, my '13 Slim ran about 225, 250° in traffic.
(Also using the H-D dipstick oil temp gauge)
After that gawd-awful dealer stage 1 "download" it soared to 250, 275° in traffic.
Hot enough to make me want to get off.
After installing the V&H FuelPak3 with a proper map, it runs around 200° and rarely exceeds 225° even in stop-n-go traffic.
I do not have an oil cooler...

I know, I don't live in Florida but my 07 ultra (true duals, AC, Sert) rarely see 220F (fairing mount gauge) even when its 35F and I am in traffic. The most I have ever seen is 235F when I rode the bike down south. I am feeling lucky.

after I did the stg1 and cams with SERT and dyno my oil temp on average is usually 215 -220 running down the road,,
When it was new, Pre-motor work it used to average around 245.
