Default RE: WHAT HEAT?

Yeah, Ive read lots of complaints and its true the new bikes run hotter than the old ones. That said, its still an air cooled bike, the last big air cooled bike around and Im glad for it. HD is doing all they can given todays regulations to keep the tradition going. I love my new 07 FLHT.It does have some gear whine in 5th, who cares? Gear whine never hurt anything. Ill tell you what else it has, alot more power than my previous 80 inchers. Im pretty happy with my bike, it isnt perfect, makes a few rude noises but thats why it isnt a Honda.
