Default Heating problem gone

I bought my new 2007 Ultra Classic about a month ago. I have about 2500 mi. on it. My dealer neglect to tell me about the heating problem until after the sale. He tell me there was nothing they could do that this bike was made to ride on the highway. I went on the Internet and located Fuel Moto and call Jamie for his advice I bought a package deal which included Super Trap exhaust, Power Commander III, and K&N air cleaner. After installing everything my heating problem is gone. I have been reading quite a bit on HD Forum.Is there anything else I need todo to my bike? Is there any updates that need to be done by my dealer?
Thanks
Huck

Congratulations on your new purchase! Have an IDS installed (Isolated Drive System). Runs about $300, but worth every penny. It is a stock item on all 2008 touring bikes.

Jamie does good work on his download to the PCIII before you get it, knowing what you have already..or ordering from him.

Agree with prior post...IDS will help the ride be smoother. Other than that..you done it all...cept adding $$$$$$$$$$$ in chrome...

Huck, sweet bike. Welcome to the forum. You're done mucking with the engine, but the IDS is a great idea and will smooth the bike out just a bit more.

I've got the exact set-up from Fuel Moto and love the sound of the SupertrappsSEs. Another great add on is the Wally's World Oil Temp guage. Oh, and of course, lot's of "safety chrome".

If you find there to be excessive heat when riding around town...remove the lower fairings. This worked for me. They hold in alot of heat.

It is amazing the few small changes make a difference. I just added cams last night and the Tru Duals to the Rhinehardt mufflers and it was another big improvement.
