Technically this is not an approved fitment although the JAGG people were very
helpful in supplying info and confirming how to do it. I chose this filter rather
than one mounting on the front of the frame to lessen the potential for damage
from rocks or other debris. I know it almost never happens, but.. <shrug>..

Basically, the JAGG 10 row is design for the FL series, not the Dyna, and the fit
is very tight if you have forward controls like I do. If you have mids, it should be
no problem at all.

The cooler is designed to attach to the forward frame in an upright position
PARALLEL to the airflow, not facing directly into it. A "spoiler" on the front of
the cooler creates a low pressure area on the outside of the cooler forcing air
to be drawn from the inner side and through the cooling tubes.

An adapter goes between the oil filter and the block but unlike most adapters,
this one takes oil off the filter return side so that the oil is filtered before it goes
into the cooler. The adapters come with or without a thermostat and I got the
one with. If I had to do it again, I'd get the adapter without as 99% of my riding
will heat the oil enough that the thermostat is not really very important.

Since the FL and FX frame tubes are a different diameter, the standard 10 row
frame clips had to be exchanged for the proper diameter which JAGG was happy
to do.

For me the real problem was that the gear lever was going to foul both the oil
lines and the cooler itself unless the rear of cooler was offset to the outside
from the ideal straight fore and aft alignment. I figured it would still cool just
fine and that the difference in effectiveness would be more theoretical than real.

Fortunately I was right...

Because of the offset and the need to run the lines lower on the frame than
would otherwise be necessary, the length of oil line supplied with the kit was not
enough and I had to buy a couple feet of line... whoopy-do...

The oil filter now sits further out from the block and is VERY close to the crank
sensor so some care is going to be required doing oil changes.

Normally I'm running about 230-240 degrees even in moderate air temps and so
far I'm seeing 200-210 or even 190-200 so there is no doubt that this cooler is
making a big difference.

Since this thread is worthless without pics, I've included some...

 

Damn, that IS snug... Nice work!

 

Sure looks like a PITA to change the oil filter to me.

 

Changing the oil filter will be interesting!!

 

ehhh, definitely hurts the looks of the bike IMO

 

Way cool (pun intended) ! Can you back away a little and show the cooler from 5 or 10 feet away both side and front?

 

Here yah go...

From the front.. (bet you figured that out on your own..)



From a bit off center



And from the side. I boosted the brightness on this to make it stand out more.




It's completely invisible from the rider's position.

IF you have mid pegs, it'd be almost unnoticeable...

 

I appreciate the benefits of an oil cooler, but would something like this help much if you already use synthetic oil?

 

I guess it depends on both how and where you ride.

Obviously in the winter no one's worried about it, but out here in the western deserts
it gets HOT and even with synthetics (which I use, BTW), I just can't see not doing
something to get the oil temp down. 100 degree air temps climbing a steep road
to a 12,000 foot pass has got to be really placing a strain on things and I do a
lot of that kind of riding. I'll be going through Death Valley in a couple weeks
and even though that's well before the "real" heat, I think I'm going to be glad
for that cooler.

Not everyone needs one, but this is another option for those who do.

 

Roughly what did this oil cooler cost ya this may be something I wouldn't mind doing next winter and try to relocate where the oil filter goes... hmmm
