Current State of the Art on Oil Coolers?
Twolanerider:
Have recently completed some engine work on my old Road Glide. It's got a bit more pep than it used to. Love the way it runs and it sounds great. Today was the warmest day it has seen so far but was still only 80 degrees. Oil temp climbed to 230 and stayed there.
That's not enough to chase me to buying more parts yet. Summer weather might though. So doing the homework ahead just in case.
I've got a stock version of an oil cooler that was used on the SEEGs or the 03 Road King. Thermostatic housing and small-ish tank. Might do one of the fan assisted units though if I decide to do anything. I've got no experience with any of the currently available options though. Jagg, Ultra-Cool, something else? Comments good, bad, or otherwise?
Thanks

Cooling the heads with fans is a better approach, oil temps stay lower as well.

No argument as to effectiveness. Truly none. This is a personal view of appearance/aesthetic consideration. I didn't just hang dark red powder coated and diamond cut cylinders and heads on the bike to follow that up with funky looking wing mounted chrome plated counter rotating overly large nipples whirring away on the side of the engine.
They may work wonderfully. But not on my bike. I'd kiss a moderator before mounting any of those things I've ever seen. ???

Form over function kind of thing huh?

These are the ones I am looking at:
Ultra Cool - https://www.ultracoolfl.com/
Jag - https://jagg.com/
Buds - https://harleyoilcoolers.com/
Not a fan of stuff under the bike, but haven’t completely ruled out the Bud system. The ultra cool has come highly recommended. Have owned the 10 row Jagg just no empirical data to say how good it did. Tuner friend in Texas recommends the Jagg due to volume of oil flow not being restricted like Harley, and you get more rows for cooling. May try one first on the roadking, as it has no oil cooler. On the 15 was where I had considered the Bud to keep the regulator area clean. May also consider a plus one oil pan in conjunction but it has a hefty price tag.
I know I gotta do something I don’t like the temps I am seeing while tuning the bikes and it’s not summer here yet.
