How beneficial would an oil cooler be to a V-Twin being driven in Eastern Canada with moderate to cool temps and few if any bumper to bumper traffic jambs lasting more than 15 min ?

If you would recommend a cooler would one like the Pro-one units offered here ht tps://www.denniskirk.com/search/oil+coolers.q/40.ipp be any good ? I own the breakout you see pictured and would just as soon avoid the "radiator" look if indeed a cooler is the way to go.

Thanx

 

For your climate and riding conditions I wouldn`t think you would need any extra oil cooling. However, where I live and ride that`s another matter...

 

I agree with "GasPipe". I put one on mine because traffic here in the DFW is murder and by the time I would get home from work on a hot day my synthetic lube would register 240 to 260.

 

I use one, not sure it is needed as I only have a couple of weeks of hot weather. Mainly have it for the peace of mind from my air-cooled VW days. I'm using the HD oil cooler with thermostat.

 

240 isn't hot.

Mine came with one when I bought it. Ive never measured temps or noticed it make a difference. My ***** get hot regardless LOL

 

I myself am a big believer in them. These motors can run hot. Just for peace of mind but I still think they're well worth it. my 2 cents.
