A few things you can do. Install an oil cooler, install a stage 1, install heat shields, install passenger footboard spacers, install true duals instead of the crossover, install all the above.

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.
