Oil Bud
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?

Do you have high oil temperatures? I think you'd only have to worry about heat if you are normally riding slow or idling for very long periods on extremely hot days before I'd buy an oil cooler. I've heard parade riders and slow riding conditions can push up oil temps. Up to you, but I'd say they're probably not worth the expense.

Mine's a stock 96 and It sure gets hot in the summer. I put a Jagg LowMount 10-row cooler on it. I don't notice it, but that's just me. (It still gets hot, but I feel better about it!)

Yeah I like those but can't run one because of the Sputhe.

Seen it up to 260+, very uncomfortable.

Okay, that's seems quite high. Maybe some other members can chime in with their common oil temps.
