Tune is the best advice. A fuel park from Vance and Hines will richen it up and cool it dramatically.

I own an 08 UC with 70,000 miles . I fought the heat issue for many years , my wifes right foot would get red from the heat , put on kury adjustable foot pegs for her not much help . finally a year ago had the stage 1 download , SE air cleaner and vance & hines true duals . Went on a 3,000 mile 11 day trip from NJ to SAVANAH GEORGIA , wife was happy no more hot foot . We do a lot of trips and she is happy . GOOD LUCK GREAT BIKE

A quick easy way to richen up the mixture without a tuner is a set of Vied's from nightrider.com. Put a set on my 08..plug and play.

The 2008 did have a cat in the right slip on. If you hold the two the right is about twice the weight.

V&H Dresser Duals, V02 Air Intake with Monster Ovals, TTS Tune and Andrews Cams on mine resulted in very noticeable reduction in heat.
