Wings get hot too, heat coming off the side radiators&nbsp\\; it intense. Baker Air Wings are making a fortune off the wing crowd.

I rode Victoria to Houston, 125 miles from 1 to 3 pm. I think that the syn3 boiled. I love baked concrete in the big city.

RE: You know when it'

I owned a water cooled Honda ST1300 for 7 months. I was the hottest lump of molten lava I ever rode. Way hotter than my Ultra. For those that think water cooling will cool these bikes down, think again. The coolest running bike I ever owned was a BMW K1200LT. I never felt engine heat. Same said for my air/oil cooled BMW R1100RT.

Yes, that's what my beamer was also, a K1200LT. No heat issues whatsoever from the engine and it looked great too.

No offense to my Good Looking Harley or yours but I think the K1200LT is one, if not the best built motorcycle out there.
