Default Downtubes oil cooler

So anyone has had good things to say about the chrome/polish oil coolers that go mounted on the front of the frame in the downtubes? There should be a good one out there to get.

I want an oil cooler but don't like that much the look on the normal ones.

Please comment.

If your talking about the vertical mounted cooler, I personally don't care for the looks of them. If I were to get a cooler Id get a black one

I like my Jagg (yeah, my Jag, too!). It compliments the motor very well. Not in the way.

No, it's not for sportsters, it's just straight. i didn't want it sticking out like the one you posted a link to.
It works fine, I also have the thermostat on the oil filter mount.

If I remember it is Custom Chrome, but not 100% sure, have had it for a couple years now.
I have not seen one in black.
