Garyak,
One other thing you can do for your wife, and something many people at the dealerships don't know, the 08 Ultra can be, or was adjusted at the factory like the 09's to turn off one cylinder when the engine gets over a certain temperature at idle. You do not have to roll the throttle forward like the 09, the system, once set, does it by itself. I recently had my dealership do this to my bike in anticipation of the summer coming. Hell, most of the sales people at the dealership when I mentioned I had heard about this adjustment said HUH?? The dealerships will do this for nothing as it should have been set by the factory, if yours isn't pre-programed already.
Keep the greasy side down always.

1) With the ignition off, turn the switch to Run (fuel pump)
2) Turn ignition to the ON position
4) Roll throttle forward and hold it approx 5 seconds.
5) Watch your Crusie Control Instrument Light to flash RED or Green.
6) Release throttle once lights begins to flash.
**Red flash means system is disabled. Green flash means system is activated. You can turn on/off the system by repeating the procedure. It is not necessary to start the bike for this procedure, just follow the above steps.

Any of the above will help individually but collectively they help the most. Some things.....cams, air cleaner, tuner, exhaust, oil cooler, etc. will not just help her be cooler.........it'll also help your motor to run cooler (spell that longevity of the motor) so I'd suggest those changes first, if you're not able to afford them all at once. By the way, these same changes will also add more horsepower and torque, too (better passing ability as well as better climbing in the mountains).....especially when loaded.
