I have a friend who runs with IEDs on his Electra Glide. \\; He has S1 download, k/n and Rush slip ons. \\; \\;On a recent road trip we did he \\;ran \\;about 20 degees cooler than \\;mine, \\; per \\;IR \\;gun cylinder test. \\; Not sure about oil temp diff since he does not have an oil \\;thermometer. \\; \\;On the last leg of the \\;trip we \\;were running \\;in 110 degree temps at 75mph. \\; By the time I got home my \\;oil temp was 255 and my body temp was similar. \\; I have been commuting with mine to work which is about 9mi mix \\;of surface \\;streets and freeway. \\; In 112 degree temp my oil is at 215 by the time I get home, in the morning with the same ride it hits about 170. \\;  \\;Yea it is hot here in AZ.
 \\;
The only thing that bothers me about the stock performance is pinging under a load, which is more noticable when the motor is hotter. \\; The IEDs/XIEDs will only richen up idle and steady throttle (closed loop mode using O2 sensors). \\; They have zero impact with open loop operation of the motor.
