I did a PGR run today with some slow travel.&nbsp\\; Engine temp got to about 220 with the sensor in the oil pan.

 

I drove down to Grandy NC this past Saturday.&nbsp\\; Left house OAT (outside air temp) was 97*.&nbsp\\; Got on high way and oil temps steadly rose to 220*.&nbsp\\; OAT at the highest though swamp over instate cannal OAT on handle bar showed 112* and oil temp was at 230*.&nbsp\\;
&nbsp\\;
I'm also running H-D Fan, and H-D preimum oil cooler and synthetics in all holes.

 

flht with oil temp guage read with no cooler 220 to 270 with cooler 180 to 230&nbsp\\;

 

85 degrees an ridin' hard oil temp was 212 degrees.got the go pure power oil filter.never need to by another oil fliter again,just clean it out when changin the oil.

 

Rode my 2003 Ultra yesterday from Fairfax, VA to McLean, VA in 100 temps.&nbsp\\; Got stuck in traffic and bike reached 249 deg.&nbsp\\; Too damn hot for me.

 

i was thinking about getting the hd fan i do a lot of dessert riding how well
does it work ??

 

220 to 240 is defiently in the normal range.&nbsp\\; Could run hotter in extreme heat.

 

running fan on mine and its only functional when stopped or very slow traffic
that is what we get a lot of here in Tidewater VA. all kinds of stupid stuff happening on the roads
daily traffic jam's and tie ups
to me the fan's positive asset well worth the money
