Re: Pants... again

Easy, you know I don't know much about the shiny parts. this particular (hot) shiny part was under the front of the seat on the left side, I think sitting between the two giant V cylinders. (The V-twin on the Strat is a 48 deg. I think.)

This is a big air cooled engine and my understanding is, with all of the emission controls, etc. they run hot. I have read of people on certain H-D's (which mine is modelled after, [Road King?]) getting so hot in the summer they had to get off. I also have heard that the newest Raod Kings have a trick feature that shuts off one cylinder when idling to keep the heat down.

If you know anything specific I should check for as far as it bing too hot, let me know.
