I have done both types. Installed the lower one on a 10 Superglide and the side mount one on a 13 Street bob. Both were the HD versions. I left the cover off of the side mount one. Since I had engine guards on the bike the side mount is hardly noticeable. I also left the cover off of it. I wanted no wind restrictions and the most surface area exposed. I running a 120R so the more cooling the better. I did not detract from the look at all.
No difference in the ease of mounting. They are an easy DIY project.
With a little patience and work, you can score a good deal on a NOS NIB MoCo oil cooler kit...
Paid $52 from eBay, shipped to my door.
looks new enough, these days I can't buy from the US because of the exchange rate, and ebay.ca sucks when it comes to anything Harley at all, even aftermarket parts! So I haven't bothered in about a year!
i think it looks better down low by the front mount but i would be worried about it takin a rock. I have takin some big rocks in the shin over the years, also i have had rocks chip the paint on the front of the gas tank and have cracked 2 headlights.
might work better on the side of the down tube too
i have thought about this mod as i live in south texas where it can stay over 100 for a month straight
Having ran a Harley low mount cooler, I can tell you rocks or any other road debris are not a problem.
I ride my bike to work every day possible and not only ride through farm country but I work on a farm and work off a gravel road with rock from chat sized up to 3in Rock and everything in between. And never even had a damaged fin on my cooler.
and also grabbed a digital dipstick, 63004-09A, to get a baseline from my bike....
That is a good find also. I got worried about the heat after getting stuck on the freeway in downtown Houston one August afternoon. I do not know how hot it got, but I could tell it was pretty hot. I do not like not knowing the health of my engine...airplane mechanic thing, I guess. I started digging around on eBay and swap meets looking for a cooler kit. There were a few out there, mostly in the $250+ range. I stumbled on this one while surfing eBay for bling and jumped on it.
I haven't had any issues that I am aware. It has been on for about 10K miles with no concerns. I got stuck in afternoon traffic in June this year and it seemed to me that it was idling cooler. Anyway, down here I would not have any issues at all with removing the thermostat and letting it cycle through the cooler freely. Might be a little cranky on the 3-5 really cold mornings we have here but other than that, I cannot see any problem without it.
How is that LCD digital display on the dipstick working out? I looked at the digital temp dipstick gauges but was concerned that I would not be able to see the display. Analog display is better for registering change than a digital display for monitoring change for my old school brain.

I ordered the dipstick yesterday. once it arrives, I will run it for a week or so to get a baseline. There's no rush to throw the cooler on right now. it just get real in the panhandle in the summer.
I agree about the analog gauge. the dipstick on my sporty is analog and easy to read + requires no cr 2032 battery. the dyna on has the lcd, that I can find anyway. totally prefer the analog.
HD LCD dipstick arrived and broke on first use... "cold oil" then .... nothing. returning
They used to be terrible....Over the years they have gotten better...but you still see about 25% of them dying within the first year. The last one I got lasted exactly one day, exchanged it, and 1.5 years later it is still working perfectly.
They have a one year warranty...if you are happy spending that kind of $ for a guaranteed one year service, you're good to go, after that it's a crap shoot.
