Re: /5 Lowers
The 5/ and later were so well cooled that we never saw a heat problem when using those lowers. However, on the /2 the Wixom was a disaster when riding at speed in hot weather for several of my customers. I only recall one R69S blowing the top end, but many of the R60/2 did. However, I must admit that they were blowing up with out the lower too.
Ask the Indians what happens when you don't control immigration.
Re: /5 Lowers
I think you need to where a black cape (with white piping) to ride a bike with the full-on Wixom set up.
Love those stand alone lowers though. Truly made for the moss covered Northwest rider. You could ride dry with your jeans on....almost.
