Thinking of adding a Baker +1.5 Oil Pan. Anyone otu there done it? Seems like a good way to keep thinks cool.

 

too much cash for me.

a pretty good idea, but compare that the extended pan for the TH350 tranny with filter and pick up kit costs under $100.

I know that economy of scale comes into play but the margin on this item has to be 300%

I have one on my 07 Road King.The combination of the plus 1 pan, Thundermax, oil cooler and Wards Parts Werks FCS fans keep my bike running cool and smooth.

 

yeah - pretty spendy item isn't it.

 

I've got one on my '12 RK.I took the wheel off to install it. I checked all the threads before i installed it and had to run a tap thru one thread,no biggie.I run the bike about at just over 4 1/2 qts. Bike is a tad cooler and no oil blowby.

 

pt 2 the change in the oil pan baffle in 09 ( ?- maybe 08), causes the oil return to wiggle and waggle around before being dumping into the lower section of the tank at the opposite end from the oil pick up.

earlier version had the hot oil dumped into the pan close to the pick up.

so the advantages of the baker are not as clear for a late model.

TH pan is stamped/cast? The Baker is a 2 piece unit machined from billet......

 

A TH350 pan won't fit a Harley. Even I know that......

It's a bit like comparing a grape with a melon!

 

Though about adding Bakers pan until I saw the sticker. I too wondered what the profit on that bugger is.

 

I think he was comparing bang for the buck......
