2017 HD8 XT heat problems with full windshield

I just bought a new HD8 XT and had the full windshield installed at the dealership. My wife and I took it for a ride the other day and it got really hot in the seating area. I don't have a back window installed and this is a non cab unit. Right behind the seats seems to get really warm. Would installing a back window help? Or what do you guys suggest. I don't want to go with a half windshield because of the bugs hitting you when driving at night.

Old Geezer from Maine

Howdy! Been looking to replace my Arctic Cat 400 manual shift FIS with something with a bit more power. Never had a CanAm but was surprised that I can buy a 570 Outlander for the same price as an AC 700 VLX. Outlander has a bit more power too and a 1" longer wb. My latest project has been putting an intercooler and turbocharger on my Arctic Cat 700 SD Diesel, yup, I said diesel. I should have it done in a week. I don't think I'll ever sell the diesel, it was already a monster after I maxed out the fuel and advanced timing. Can't wait to drive it with 15 psi of boost. Top speed will be governed at 50 something, as it has a 4300 rpm governor. I already folded up a 72" Cycle Country plow last winter with it, it should be dangerous with boost.

ECU test ?

Is there a way to verify that the ECU is OK ?
I have a feeling the cause of my erratic Idle / cruising speed problem is that the injectors aren't being delivered the correct amount of fuel to produce an acceptable AFR .
I understand that changing the ECU with a known good one is an option but there's no one near me with a 10 500 cc bike that I know .

2016 sportsman spring upgrade

Looking at either highlifter or EPI lift springs for an upgrade. Just looking to stiffin it up some especially when riding 2up and a little added lift would be nice. Does anyone have any experience with either and which would you suggest? Also, on the high lifter web site it says 2011-2014's need an adapter. Are these really the only models that needs them?

backfire

Suggestions on why it does on decelleration from the exhaust?
The last 2 rides. 1st ride was a small pop pop pop sound. 2nd short ride was loud bangs on full throttle to coast.
Last year i replaced the rubber boot from the carb to the engine and that solved it. Been good all year now till just a few days ago. The new boot is still crack free.
plugs arent that old but i found a loose top part of the plug that screws onto the plug....fuel filter is good. Maybe an exhaust donut?
Have been playing in alot of water, but the 2 rides have been on road and dry.
I'll pick up new plugs today.
Machine starts and idles great..lots of power too.
