"Luckily I have all winter to make a decision on installing one. Riding in Texas in the summer can be a real roaster oven, especially when stuck in stop and go traffic"
Thats one of the big reasons I have one. I do not monitor it but I know it helps.

But what are you basing your statement on? Do you have any measurable proof that it helps or is this a "gut" feeling? Not trying to be a smart@ss, just trying to find some evidence that it actually works before I invest in one.

Yes I have to agree with Joe I have the same feeling on the heat but I don't monitor. I was also told by my tuner who is one of the best in the country it was a good Idea to install one on a motor that has been modified. I respect his opinion and what the hey it can't hurt anything but your wallet.

The Jagg 10 row cooler I installed this summer has resulted in an average of a 15 degree reduction of the oil temp. From an average of 237 down to 222 during this past summer riding in about 90 deg weather. No fan just moving air and checking the temp using a HD digital temp gauge just after parking. For me it is worth it but you have to decide on your own.

My motor is stock but I'll probably add a cooler anyway. I see UltraCool makes a model with a fan but not for a Dyna. Does anyone make one with a fan for a Dyna?

That's a nice clean set up because it is mounted out of site under the frame, I saw that a couple of years ago but they only made them for Softails. According to there website, they now have them for Dyna's. http://www.budsbikerparts.net/ Nice, but $$$$$
Removing the vapor canister:
The single hose on the right side of the bike from the vapor canister goes up under the tank and doesn't connect to anything it is just a breather hose you can just pull it out.
On the left side of the bike you have two hose's coming off of the canister. The canister is labeled carb / tank, disconnect the tank hose and follow it up the frame to a little vapor valve, remove hose from the bottom of this little vapor valve and remove the hose. This is now your 49 state tank vent, you can also get the 49 state vent hose that connects to the vapor valve and runs up under the tank, it is in the Harley parts catalog (99439-06A) item 13 on page 90 P/N 27296-04A TUBE, VALVE TO ATMOSPHERE and a retaining clip item 7 P/N 10113 CLIP, DOUBLE HOSE.
Disconnect the carb hose from the vapor canister, this line goes up the frame and under the tank to a connection behind the top left side of the air cleaner, it connects to the intake manifold, disconnect and put a cap on the port of the intake. (In the Harley parts catalog (99439-06A) on page 20 they list a cap plug item 21 P/N 90383-98 CAP PLUG, INDUCTION MODULE that might be the one to use.) This hose is difficult to remove, I took off the rubber hose from the plastic tube by the intake and pulled the hose out from the front of the tank and broke off a clip that supports a harness that comes out of the bottom of the tank, but I was able to ty-wrap that harness to another harness under the tank near the frame. If you cut the plastic tube end off that has the ridge, it will not hang up on anything and it will just slide out.
The vapor canister bracket has a clip that you depress and then the canister can slide off the bracket. Loosen the two allen head bolts that hold the bracket on to the frame, remove top bolt then rotate bracket and put the bolt back in and tighten it down, then remove lower bolt and bracket, reinstall lower bolt and tighten it down.
