What Heat?
I got stuck in bumper to bumper traffic today moving maybe 10-15 mph for about 10 miles until I decided to turn around.
My oil pressure was reading about 5 psi but I did not notice that much heat coming off of the engine or pipes.
The air temp was about 78 degrees, with sunny skies.
Figured it was probably bad for my bone stock '09 SG with 160 on it to be stuck in that slow moving traffic, that's why I turned around.
I think my V-Rod with the CFR pipe has more heat coming off the right side then the SG did today.

Nope. With all this talk about high heat, I was waiting for the blast furnace to start burning my leg but I was pleasantly surprised when it didn't happen.
I'm still learning with this thing. Not used to coming to a stop with a shaking engine. Not that bad of a shake but the V-Rod does not vibrate or shake at all when stopped. I keep thinking somethings wrong with the engine.
Right now I'm leaning to selling the V-Rod once I get the comfort issues worked out on the SG. I see that once you put a fairing and radio in front of you, it's hard to look back!!!
