NO SOLUTION TO HEAT PROBLEM stop wasting $

[07POSE]

I've tried the Thundermax and the Power Commander. Neither of these reduced the excessive heat coming off the exhaust. The heat has caused the chrome to flake off the pipe and caused browning on the heat shield. The AFR has been adjusted until flames shot out the pipes and the bike would barely run.

Next up is to change cam's.

Harley Davidson Engineers told me the EPA rules do not allow a simple way to circumvent the emissions standards, but HD would not tell me how to bypass how to fix the problem.

What kind of luck has anyone had on changing their cams?

What are the specifications on the stock TC 96 cams?

Eh - Stage 1 (ECM Flash, A/C, SE Exhaust) and a HD Oil Cooler and my bike is running right in the heat range I like.

For the record - if I can feel the heat, then I feel better about the heat rejection qualities of my engine. I'd rather the heat be on me than building up in my heads. Which leads me to my concerns about the loss of the "Y" pipe on the '09s. The "Y" pipe helped cool that rear cylinder at the exhaust port, giving it more surface area for which it could reject heat.

I tried this too, my engine doesn't run hot. The oil is around 260 and the IR thermometer reads around 300. It's just the pipes that. \

You wouldn't know the specs of the OEM cam would you? Or anyone who has changed the cams?

Thanks

I don't personally.

I've been a little timid about replacing the cams with all the talk about runout.
