YES I DO HAVE MY LOWERS ON AND THOUGHT OF TAKING THEM OFF BUT I,M ALSO THINKING THEY MIGHT EVEN HELP IT AS A CAR WILL RUN HOT WITHOUT ITS FAN SHROUD WHERE THIS ACTUAL LETS AIR FLOW DIRECTLY ON THE ENGINE NOT SURE IT WOULD MAKE A DIFFERANCE BUT MAYBE

Jeff, the guy I bought my Ultra from, bought a 2007 SG and had problems with pinging, went home and took off the lowers and seemed to help. Since it has not been that hot out yet, not sure that it is a cure as of yet.

RE: 2005 ULTRA PROBLEMS RUNNING ROUGH AND PINGING
for heat... like Arizona has .... I'd have the beefiest fan possible (mounted where the cowbell is). Also would definately be getting an oil-cooler to help cool the oil a little. Those things can help some when riding in the high heat.
