Using my Powervision, my engine and head temps average around 300-330 degrees in 80-90 degree temps outside.

As already mentioned, you can use a FP3 or PowerVision to monitor the temp and a variety of other things. I have a Power Vision on all my bikes and use it as a gauge cluster.
HD has done a pretty good job at making the M8's feel cool to the rider/passenger, but they still run too hot for their own good. Cooling them down will help them last longer AND provide improved performance.
Check out a Report on ideal temps for engine performance HERE.

" Retarding the timing will help prevent the heat from climbing higher, but it also drastically reduces power/performance."
It's not the timing that does it but the temp itself. Timing only adjusted to compensate for higher temps with cause faster burn.
I hope the 300-330 is the CHT reading off your PV. If it is the engine temp (ET) reading, that is Much too hot and is steadily destroying the engine.
