Very professional and well built with what looks like quality parts. Aftermarket probably doesn't come any better than that.
I would after installing it, mask off with news paper and rattle can flatblack the two lines there in front were visible to blend with his other lines on the YouTube bike.
Around $800. How is that price as compared to other options out there? Quality like that can't be cheap and it sure looks like you at least as the (my) saying goes, you're getting what you paid for there.

I’ll put my two cents in. I live in deep south Louisiana. It’s never really cold but I did an oil cooler because my 07 wide glide gets run in stop and go traffic.
Now I went with the ultra cool on the front with the chrome cover and force cooling(fans). So the only downside to that cooler that I can see would be, jacking the bike up and there’s no fans to force cool. The product guarantees to be bulletproof, so you don’t have to worry about puncturing it. Yes you will hardly see it so it should look better than my cooler. As far as whether you need an oil cooler or not, your engine has been highly modified. I would absolutely guarantee you need an oil cooler of some type. let your pocketbook, and heart be your guide.
As for the oil guys, synthetic oil is just way better than conventional oil. A person that doesn’t run synthetic today is just being dumb. My three whole combination is Amsoil, Red line, and Red line. Reason for Amsoil is because of testing. You have a better guarantee of getting what you’re paying for. If I could get three holes of Amsoil I would. Here and Lafayette it’s hard to get Amsoil. About Red line, the baseline how they build the oil is the toughest in the world. All my race toys get Red line. All daily cages get Pennzoil platinum. I and not a fan of one brand, depending on the needs is what I feel is the best bang for the buck. My diesels get Rotella T6, why because Rotella has extra cleaners. So to make a long story short. look into your oils to see which one fits your driving needs, then buy the one that’s best for your pocketbook. Beyond a doubt Red line is the toughest oil, but if you don’t race, why do you need a racing oil. For the other brands, they are all good oils if they’re synthetic. CONVENTIONAL oil is just outdated. Mobile one, royal purple, shell, and even Chevron are all good oils.
You have to first ask your self what is your needs. Some good oils aren’t designed for what you need. Big HD engine oil is not designed for a rice burners (all in one design). Then your environmental conditions will dictate the weight you can ride with. You’ll Texas and Arizona boys just took away my Amsoil because there’s no straight 50 weight.
So final thoughts- synthetic only, make sure it was built for you ride, riding style, environmental conditions, and a name you trust.

Yeah I like those but can't run one because of the Sputhe.
Yeah, I have a Predator in front, Sputhe in back.

The only frame of reference I have is my aircraft engine. The limit is 225 measured where it re-enters the engine (after all the cooling). Typical temperature increase through the engine is 40-50 degrees, so it could easily be coming out as high as 275. Keep in mind, the 225 limit was arrived at before there was such a thing as synthetic oil.
My concern with the one in the video is the radiator looks pretty fragile to me...
260??? Are you in some serious traffic or extreme temperatures? Need more info. 230ish should be average. How do your plugs look? Post up a picture.
Now you got me second guessing my memory, maybe it was 240???

I think other brands are typically $500 or less but are using worm clamps and have you measuring and cutting hoses, which all seems pretty rinky-dink for that kind of money.

Nice post. I just switched over to Red Line synthetic after my dino break-in oil, and yes FuelMoto recommended an oil cooler for my bike after they dyno'd it.

That got me thinking that I am going by engine temp on my PowerVision and not specifically oil temp. Either way, too hot.
As far as durability, the unit is all aluminum, not coils and fins like a radiator. Dude shot it with a shotgun, and it still held 140lb or pressure.
My ULTRACOOL uses JIC fittings and they even give a Crome crows foot wrench. Lines are pre made. I did have to move mine over because hoses were to close to the aftermarket crash bar. That is not their fault, I’m the one that modified my bike. ULTRACOOL really makes a good product, but their top shelf to. The mounting bracket actually bolted where my engine mounts mounted to the frame. I will also tell you that my bike and many old bikes have no oil temp gauge. That is why we do things like temp gauges in the oil tank. Now my power vision 3 only has head and block temp, but my fans temp switch is around 210 on and 185 off. My fans won’t come on till my block gets to 285. Stop and go 85 degrees 35 minutes Fans on my block never got over 306 degrees. My motor is a 96 stage 2.

I haven't seen that setup before. Looks like a quality product, and has way more surface area than the Jagg cooler I'm running. I'm a little concerned how effective it would be mounted under the hot engine and out of significant airflow, but I'm no engineer.
I've debated on getting one because of the oil capacity of the Dyna. They occasionally have a 10% off coupon, looks like they had one last fall on FB. I just asked if they would be having one for the spring this year and will post it if they answer.

"Bud" has several videos on his website, seems like he's been making these a long time and I'm surprised I've never heard of him. In one of the videos he talks about more airflow under the bike as opposed to up in front being blocked by the forks and wheel, etc. I'm not engineer either (well actually I'm a software engineer but that doesn't count) but what he says makes sense to me.

Are you saying that the Oil Bud had a discount? I gave up all social media for Lent so I can't check.
I've been thinking about getting an oil cooler but hate the way they all look. Came across this today and it looks pretty promising, although pretty expensive. Anybody have any experience with one of these units?
I certainly understand having a vision for your bike's appearance and not wanting to screw up that vision. On the other hand, when I look at your bike I see something that's all business and all function. For me, seeing an oil cooler attached to a frame down tube doesn't interfere with that at all. If anything, it enhances that functional appearance.
Of course, your bike, your vision. Just something to think about.
Regarding the usefulness of an oil cooler, I put that one on when that bike had 5,000 miles on it. After putting on 100,000 miles in the New Mexico heat, it still had good compression and ran like a top when I sold it. I can't give any absolute evidence that the oil cooler was the reason for that longevity, but it certainly didn't hurt.
