After SE Stage 1 recalibration and XIEDs my bike ran much cooler. i did get the larger Jagg / HD 9 row cooler for added protection and HD Syn3 lube in all 3 holes. Definitely don't have that extreme heat that was there before those mods.

I am not saying oil coolers dont work, I am just saying for $600 I dont think its worth it.. I just think to many people bite on the idea of a oil cooler and they really dont need one. In your case I understand it... But if its 110 degrees out and your running a big motor that runs really hot there isnt much you can do.

For $105 Oil Cooler Fan Kit on Ebay, $300 For the HD 10 row Jag cooler on Ebay is still cheaper than the Bud and it can be placed in a better location more easily it seems.

A lot of replies but none with first hand knowledge of oil bud on dynas. Does anybody have it installed on their Dyna? I read the "rear section" can be used as a jack point for the dynas so am curious if this eliminates the need for special / modified jack... anybody know?

Exactly. Unless your in Arizona or commuting in downtown bottle-neck traffic like LA or along those lines too much emphasis is being placed on oil coolers. The object of anyone with an air cooled motor is to 'move the air' over that engine. You should keep in mind the MoCo has proving grounds in extremely hot climates where they punish bikes to failure to make sure they can handle it. One of them is in Yuma Arizona (I used to live in AZ), an excellent location to do research and development.
As far as this particular oil cooler, your not going to get as much air movement thru it as one that's 'Hanging out in the breeze'. My 02 cents.
