Default 1990 Electra Glide Final

Well this is the final update on my 1990 EG- I just traded it in on a 2007 Ultra Peace Officer Special. Good bye ole reliable friend I hope the new one holds up as well. I have 60 miles on it right now.

Your dealer took your '90 for a trade? I just can't do that here..."my" dealer says my '92 FLHS with 40 thou on it is too old!

Good luck with the new one.....

It helped when the salesman was my partner for a few years in the PD. The deal he got me was 1500 off MSRP, a 300 store credit , a battery tender , rear turn signal running lite brake lite kit and 7500 for my EG. 200 miles on the new Ultra right now. Main problem is the HEAT off the rear cylinder. Harley has a fix which only lets your front cylinder run until the rear one cools down but excuse me HD but I did not buy my bike for it to be a single cyclinder thumper. Hope a Rinehart 2into 1 system helps. Anyone have any advice on that setup.

A rose is a rose etc. whether it's an '07 EFI or a '78 stroker... There might be other reasons but in my experience, the first thing I'd look for with excessive heat is a lean condition and/or improper timing...
Why that is an HD prob in the rear cylinder is probably the fault of the Eco-freak enviromental Nazis, they mandate a very lean mixture... Most likely you're running lean in both... I won't even guess about your timing...
Perhaps you can get a mixture reading at your tailpipes, then you'll know if that's part of the prob, fatten it up if you can and for sure get an oil cooler for the summer months if you're over-heating in winter... I love it,, a part-time one cylinder UPOS...
You know, a freer flowing exhaust might make it worse i.e. even leaner...
