 Call Bud,  he can fit plus 1, if you tell him options, I have baker + 1 & big billet engine cases (131") he did a custom fit for me, I have run Oil Bud for 4 years, I like them they fit between frame rails, most people don't see them, they are spendy, but do make a difference.

I have used a Oil Bud oil cooler for the last 3 yrs with 117" engine on my trike. I can say that it does keep the engine oil temps interstate riding on a 100 degree day in the 210-220 range on my oil temp dash gauge. Considering that my engine is pulling a trike with my big butt on it that it does what it claims to keep the oil temps down.

For draining the engine oil I have to use a 5/8" wrench to lossen and tighten the drain plug. The drain plug on mine has to be worked out of the way while the oil is draining out but its not a bad issue.

Also I would stress that when your changing your oil you would want to raise the back of the bike up and remove the front oil line to drain the majority oil out of the cooler. This will also drain most of the oil from the oil filter and you will have virtually no oil spilling out of the oil filter when removing it

Nice idea on the oil line detachment. Exactly where might this line be located.     JoeS

The Oil Bud cooler mounts under the engine between your lower frame rails. The oil cooler has a oil line that come from the thermostat/filter housing to the front of the oil cooler. Remove the oil line and let it drain. Sorry for the blurry pic
