Default Harley oil cooler adapter

Recently added a factory HD oil cooler to my 09 Electra Glide. I noticed that the feed port to the oil filter pocket is just a small, maybe 1/8" slot about 5/8" long and that's it. Seems to me that would be quite a bottle neck for flow in the oiling system. What says those in the know. I've raced cars for 25 years. This is my first Harley. Thanks for any opinions. Mike
