The best oil cooler for my 'bob?
I often ride in heavy traffic and the engine does heat up considerably. It seems like the 3rd party vendors may be offering superior products. Any advice or experience here?

Jagg makes good oil coolers. Donny Petersen has written a bit lately about them lately in American Iron magazine... he seems to be a fan too.

I got the Harley Davidson 10 row oil cooler kit which I believe is made by Jagg. Unfortunately I don't have a temperature gauge to compare before and after temps. If the cooler isn't enough for your set up you may also look into installing a fan triggered by the front brake light circuit.
I got mine brand new off eBay for $149.99, a lot cheaper then the Jagg set up. Here's some more info and photos: https://www.hdforums.com/forum/dyna-...il-cooler.html

I've got the verticle mount coolers from Jagg mounted to the left down tubes on both of my Dyna's. I'm quite satisfied with the performance of both. One has the automatic thermostat and the other doesn't. Not a big fan of coolers mounted across the bottom of the frame where debris off the front tire is going. Synthetic oil is a good bet for you also.

rdondes,
Did you compare them to others offered from different manufactures?
