I've noticed more heat from the engine as opposed to my 96 Road King, while city driving. I'm attributing that to the fan's for the radiators, but I find it tolerable. I haven't noticed much difference while highway driving.

That's good to hear - maybe my shorter test drive wasn't long enough for it to settle down, even out..

Bigger engine than the 96... you'd expect a little more heat, maybe.
