Hi all,
I wanted to install an oil cooler kit on my bike. I have a 2005 Electra Glide Classic. I was checking out the 2005 Harley catalog and I see that on page 454 there are two oil coolers one is a premium oil cooler and one is a super premium oil cooler. there is about $135 dollar difference, which to me is a big difference. Which one should I get? And Why?
Thanks in advance :)...

I can't tell you which one to buy, but buy one for sure. I put one on my 2002 Ultra I had and it dropped the temp up to 35 degrees compared to a friends bike w/o a cooler. Either way it's a very good investment.
-
An oil cooler is a good investment for the bike. I'm not sure of the difference in the two other than looks, and you can add another $45.00 to the "super Premium" for a chrome cover. They both have thermostats built in which is important because in cold weather the cooler is bypassed.
-
The super premium has a built in thermostat which opens the cooler at a predetermined temp. Works with a spring I think. The engine fitting is different to accomodate the thermostat.
-
It's sad I don't know this, but I don't have a clue. Of the two cooler choices mentioned which one is the unit HD hung on the SEEGs?

The "Super Premium" Oil Cooler is on the SEEG's, With the chrome cover.

Hey Kbiforce
I was just wondering which oil cooler do you have?
-
I have a SEEG now, but on my 2002 Ultra I had the 62868-99B which was the smaller one. I think it's discontinued now. . I see it in the 04 catalog but not the 05. The only thing I didn't like was that adapter wanted to loosen up on oil changes. If I went that style again I would just loctite the nut.
-
Ah IC. well thanks for your help everyone but my question wasn't answered. I'm definetly going to get one I'm just not sure which one to get. I'll find out eventually :)
-
The difference between the 2 units is strictly cosmetic, their is no difference in functionality so, if looks don't matter buy the less expensive one!!! [smiley=1syellow1.gif]

All I can say is the chrome cover is a pain it packes with dirt and crap that the fender dosen't stop and is a bi**h to clean.

Magoo, hit a gun shop. I've got some cleaning "wads" which are basically just small plugs of a very soft sponge type material that go over the end of a cleaning wand and are used to push through shotgun barrels. Just radically shortened one of the cleaning wands and with the front wheel fully deflected this is a perfect tool for cleaning between the teeth of the chrome cover on the oil cooler. Takes no time at all. Does a good job. And can use it to both wipe wax on and wipe wax off when the times come and I'm feeling that energetic.
Wax on, wax off.

Ah IC.
-
Thanks Shrader.. I'll go for the new one. And I really like the idea of the chrome cover ...hehe...
-
The difference in the two new style coolers is, the Super Premium cooler has a new replacement oil filter mount with the lines coming from it(you can buy it in chrome or silver) -the cheaper cooler hooks to an adapter that mounts between the existing mount & the oil filter.
Both have thermostats.
