I ride a 2011 cvo softail convertible and my rides a 2012 cvo softail convertible.
We installed a standard Harley oil cooler on my bike and there is a HUGE difference in the heat
/ rider comfort. My bike is a whole lot cooler than hers.
So yes it does make a difference.

Did you just go for the Cooler or did you also go for the Engine Cooling Fans?

Hey Lever, Thanks for the update,
Couple of questions before I order mine!
Are the hoses on the Jags the same diameter as the HD? Want to go braided on the whole set up!
Did you use the HD or Jags oil filter adaptor?
Wear did you get your back rest from?!!
Thanks,
Charlie

Hey Lever,
Any chance you could give me a list of everything I need from Jag for the install!
Don't want to miss anything when I get it shipped over to Dubai,
