I'm sorry but that doesn't convince me that you can lose almost 100 degrees of heat simply by using a aluminum oil cooler. If that was true, my Camaro that has a aluminum radiator wouldn't need a fan. Believe me, without a fan it would overheat in a hurry. There is no way you can dissipate that much heat. Your comment about losing that much heat just with a cooler and no air flow is ridiculous. Please prove me wrong. Post a video showing the temp gauge at both ends.

  I don't know about the temp sit'n still go'n from 250-156.......but I think this guy's got a winner,IMO , have been to his site numerous times, he's got some video there that deserves a look......he DOES jack the bike up with it under there.......takes a hammer NUMEROUS times to the cool'n part of it,and you can still see through the chambers...don't think rocks will be an issue. Also like the thermo-control part of it, seems to be made very well....it's PRICEY! but would be the ticket to not have a bulky cooler mounted out front on the downtubes someplace......I'd have ta give it some thought!  Hard to say if it will still pick up heat from underneath.......wish I knew somebody close to me run'n one

I have no doubt this is a very well made product. I just cant believe the claim that this will dissipate almost 100 degrees without any air flow just sitting there idling. I could buy 20 to 30 degrees but not 100. But just my opinion.

I have installed (and later removed) one of these for a customer on a 09 SERG. Oil temp drop was 20-30 degrees read @ the temp dipstick. It was removed as the customer wanted to have the fairing mount oil temp guage and the sensor cannot go into the pan with the cooler there. I installed a Jagg 10-row and the customer reported back that the Oil bud was slightly better than the Jagg.

I have 1 thought, on another topic about oil coolers someone stated that you should not stack oil coolers. Using the stoack cooler and adding another was not a good idea. I was wondering if this cooler falls into this question. This cooler looks bigger than the stock 1. Anyone have a thought on this?

I think Twolane addressed this issue in an earlier post, does'nt it have a place tapped for a sender on the bagger setups?

Had been so long since looked at it to begin with was just reviewing that myself.  In the new oil filter adapter housing (on the front of the engine) the install docs show a sending unit location.  Directly beneath the oil filter.  If you had the the Harley oil temp kit the little harness to the sending unit would have to be extended a bit.  Couple of splices wouldn't be a big deal though.

It does but only for 1/8" NPT sensors. This sensor was a Dakota Digital that uses 3/8" NPT (same as the plug in the oil pan). The customer also did not care for the look of the adapter and thermostat.

Gotta love the dance of making multiple and independent aftermarket systems play together.

I would like to see this cooler in action, in person to see the big temperature drop.  I know heat is an enemy to Harley's and anything that will do what they claim would be great if it really did the job.  Worry somewhat about under the bike mount, I have had some pretty low bikes that barley make it in and out of parking lots without dragging the frame.  Love the fact that it is hidden though.

I will try this unit on my SEEG2 pumpkin. I have had unit for a while just didn't install it yet . next fall I will share all as I will be using it on a fresh R&R 131". I don't use  temp dipsticks for oilbucket after puking oil out of dip stick on back brake. I also have set-up to put oiltemp gauge in fairing.

I'm sure everyone here probably knows more than I do about oil coolers.  Simple question... How well can any oil cooler work on a bike without a fan? Seems to me the biggest issue of overheating is when the bike isn't moving.

Thats why this is such a great product.....

put an Ultra Cool Custom oil cooler on my '09 FXDFSE inside the stock front spoiler.  Virtually unnoticeable, fan forced thermostactically controlled. Probably the best mod I've made. http://www.ultracoolfl.com/ they have pre-built coolers but will also customize for your specific application.

Do you have a pic of the installed product? Have you used it in summer stop & go? If so, how effective is it?

Thanks,
