So you bought the bike with a 120R already installed and never had a touring bike with the stock catalytic converter to compate it to, yet your claiming all 120R's run hot? Since your new to the bike and engine I'll let you know mine doesn't run hot, you may need to get a better tune?
Mine is already making more torque (and hp) than yours, even though the dyno tune on mine is the first on a tight motor. That's most likely a factor of the cam difference but it is what it is. My numbers will go up next time on the dyno.
It's simply an undebatable fact that 120R's make more heat than standard motors. If you cannot accept that fact we will simply have to disagree. I've got fifty-three years of Harley experience but what do I know?
So is it better to have more capacity or to cool the capacity you currently have better....seems the latter would make better sense? I don't know so this is a question not flaming anybody. I plan on making some performance upgrades in the next year or so.
I'm sure I'll get flamed for this comment by someone, but what the hell. I was talking with the service mgr about doing the oil cooler and he recommended doing the pan. Labor wise he said he would change the same but said the extra capacity oil would help more than the cooler. If the bike is going to run hot it's in stop and go traffic not when you're rolling so that where the extra oil would come in handy. Flame on!! Lol
