If you want to see how well your bike handles heat don't compare "running at 90 all day" - check it out after 30 minutes in stop and go rush hour city traffic (mostly stop) on a 90+ degree day.



That is the truth right there! My bike is horrible in stop and go traffic as well and I too just had to replace the CDI. HD dealerships charge a stupid amount of money in the garage because of a lot of the clueless owners that don't know anything about bikes. I'm sorry but if you are paying $400 for an oil change...then you need to invest $40 in a Haynes manual and start learning your bike a little bit. I had a XL1200S back in the day that I cafe'd out and put close to 100,000 miles on that air cooled engine. That XL engine is a landmark engine; I like my Bonnies better but that is a far cry from saying the other is a useless bike.
