Attached is a pic of my ride last saturday in Montana. Everyone may think its only hot down south but it gets warm in the summer in Montana. Not every day but some days.
My bike, 12 CVO roadglide, 120R, woods cams, PV d&d borzilla and ventilator air cleaner on a 58Mm throttle. Last dyno was 148 ft lbs Tq and 139 HP.
My set up, 10 row jagg frame mounted cooler, extra 1.5 qt oil pan, wards fans.
Air temp guage is externally mounted so air temp is accurate as best i can make it. Oil temp is as it exits the cooler and ET is head temp from PV.
My target range for head temp is 235 to 255. Oil temp is 230 from engine 170 or less back to engine.
Bike performed flawlessly got 35 plus mpg and oil pressure was excellent all day.

Front head via the PV which is plugged into the diagnostic port of the ECM.
Its not sophisticated but its available and reasonably accurate and consistant.
bigskyroadglide are you measuring head temp off the front or rear head?

Oil temp is measured directly from the line between the filter housing and cooler. Again not sophisticated just available and reasonably accurate and consistant
