Professional reviews of twin cooled vs non find slightly more power in those bikes due to engines running cooler. Another side benefit!
I have had several oil cooled, and have a wethead currently. If the engine is properly tuned, I don't really believe there's a difference. My personal opinion is I prefer not having lowers when it's really hot outside because I "feel" more of the heat. If you look at the wethead bikes, there's a lot of "stuff" in the path of the air that limits the volume of air moving past the fins on the engine. At lower speeds my wethead feels a lot hotter than the bikes I've had without lowers. With that said, opinions are like........ well you know.

for me twin cooled wins out... if you ride you will be stuck in stop n go traffic and the heat will get you, and the bike suffers tooo. the pay off of the lowers w/rads is greater than with out.... and no data to support my claims just my 2 cents

Well that’s good. A few people on here said they did not. Good to know, that HD is a little less cheap.

The 2018's RG & SG do not have the fan!  They only have an empty shroud.  HD did cheap out!  you have to pay the Harley tax if you want a fan cooled oil cooler on your CVO!!

I just made an appointment to have one installed. It will be in for my 1000 mile checkup. They have to flash the ecm to make it come alive
