Road this weekend with with three SERG's including a relatively new one, stock (broken in).  Mine has undergone all the Jim Kerr mods.  (Cat, fullsacs, heavy breather, SERT).  We both had the HD digital oil level / temp gauge.  HD #63004-09  Several times we stopped and checked temps.  I even jumped off once while we were sitting in traffic to check both bikes.  It was a cool day (high 60's) in S. CA.

The stock bike ran between 240 - 270* F.  Mine was about 30 - 34* cooler at each check.  Have to wonder about the long term effects....

Forgot to mention, I run Amsoil in crank, primary and tranny.

92* here yesterday and humid, 2 up riding interstate at 75 mph average 60 miles and the temps hit 249* at the tank, with twin coolers and a tune I still think this oil temp is still high. Non cat headers and 2.25" full sacs.   Doc   I have tried differant PCV maps after the tune and the oil temp still has not changed, so it is getting enought fuel and has differant timing in each map, bike runs perfect but cannot get my mind off the oil temps, have check the temps with 3 differant tools all with in 3 * of each other. I have run the coolers in series and in parralle all to be within a few * of each change, what next a third cooler?  Doc

Might be time to accept the fact that the bike is going to run a little warmer then you'd like. Use a good synthetic oil, change it regularly and enjoy your bike.

May just do that as there seems to be no resolve.  Thanks Doc

How many miles on it now Doc?  Mine got a little cooler, I mean a little after 3k or so miles..Still have not pipe n tuned yet and changed to 20-60 syn.
runs at idle after a flogging around 260, rear cylinder shuts off all the time...No issues yet at 4600 miles.

[HDDOCFL]

Just 2200 miles. Its tuned with a PCV, non cat headers, 2.25 Full Sacs, Stock SERG oil cooler with a added engine gaurd cooler which allows an extra qt of oil in the system and is run in parralle with the HD cooler, also run Redline 20-60 syn oil. I really think this bike should run cooler!  Doc.

[HDDOCFL]

Anyone change the cooler to a Jagg 10 row and see any differance to justify the expsense? Weather it be horrizontal or vertical?  Thanks Doc

Next time you see me, stick your thermo in mine and see what it says, I put the ceramic header on w/o cat, installed the Fulsac 1.75 baffles with 2 yards each side of fiberglas mat wrapped around the fulsac baffles, sandwiched between the orig HD packing and the TTS Mastertune map supplied by Fullsac. Runs stout, seems much cooler, but I am to cheap to buy a gauge.

Just ride em. If you can't stand the heat then sell em. I got 7 years of warranty on mine. When it burns up I will put another one in. When that one burns up I will put something else in or buy something else. I will be going on a 2000 mile trip next week. If it gets too hot then down the road it goes when I get back. Life is too short to ride something that makes you miserable or live with someone that makes you miserable. T.
