Default Beat the Heat

OK....my bike is a '12 FLHX with a 120R motor & Trask turbo. 165 RWHP & 165 RWTQ. Baker +1.5 oil pan, two 10 row Jagg thermostatically controlled fan powered oil coolers run in series, WardWerks cylinder cooling fan kit (same as Love Jugs) and Amsoil 20-50 synthetic oil. Outside temperature was 85F. In city traffic hottest engine temperature was between 261F to 274F. Oil temperature never goes over 230F. On the highway oil temperature drops to between 175F-200F.

Now that I've seen it on a PC instead of my phone...

The panel below the trans cover, is that just a cover since the exhaust isn't there or is it something else?

Front wheel, normal SG wheel that's been polished? Man is that nice looking...

Air filter...man that thing is tiny.

I made the panel below the tranny cover myself. From flat steel plate and some stainless steel screen. After the stock exhaust system was changed to the Trask exhaust there were a bunch of hoses and wires showing that looked pretty crappy.
The wheels are the stock wheels chromed and powdercoated.
Air filter, yeah looks small but that's what Trask provides with the kit. Bike works fine.
