That Road King looks sharp.

I do the same in the hotter months. More for my comfort. I don't see a diff in oil temps
Mine runs 230-250 on a hot day (with or without the deflectors on)
I thought I read somewhere on here, someone did thermal readings and determined the cyl heads were
hotter with the deflectors on. Makes sense. They would block the air around them.
