Default xied-first impressions

I have an 07 deluxe with hooker long drag pipes,s-e ac,and the h-d download. ive been getting temps on my analog oil dipstick around 220 to 240 deg. i added the xieds over the weekend and my temps never got over 210. so far for the money spent I am pretty happy. The outside air temps during these rides was around 90deg.

Tom from http://harleygoodies.com/ here. I dumped my temp dipstick and it was the best thing I have ever done. Constantly obsessing over oil temp is enough to drive anyone crazy. that being said, sounds like the XIeds did the trick. Congrats.

What did it do to your fuel economy. I wouldn't mind a little less mpg, but after the stage 1 download and air filter upgrade, mine was really sucking down the gas so I took off the xieds...much better. Anybody else?
