This comes from a guy that tells you to run your bike 1/2qt low in another thread.
Did the manufacturers suggest that?
They must of mentioned it since thats what you seem to go by all the time.
please provide the quote from me where I said this Mr Fact Checker ..pretty sure you're referring to this comment I recently made though about the OP having oil out his breathers into his air filter
"we don't know how he checked it, perfectly level ground, did he allow to idle at full operating temps before draining, etc., so I mention pay attention to proper level check...as many of us have realized over many years is FULL HOT can be 'overfilled' in reality on some engines as these are loose tolerance spec'd mass produced engines, not hand made, custom machined, tight specs, etc., and have a lot of bike to bike variances, and as they wear and compression diminishes issues can become exacerbated with oil consumption and blowby can manifest itself in ways that don't always mean a problem like you state it is...I think the best thing for OP to do is establish a proper baseline and check correctly and constantly while monitoring..if he is able to keep the level a little lower while still in range and the problem goes away, then he can maintain that safe operating level without issues"
yup, unnecessary hideous and grotesque apparatus installations... we see those all the time on lots of bikes...said no-one ever !! never mind the fact that even without any kind of add ons these aren't blowing up left and right all over the place
Call them what you want. My point is that those little coolers
That hold 6-10 ounces of oil are not gonna do what you expect.
When did they start making Flux capacitors for Harley s? That there, is some ugly *** repugnant *****! The added extra weight and drag would probably increase the engine load/oil temps alone! Never lost and engine due to heat, so I think I am OK with my FAN mounted cooler.

I am going to build a trailer, get some hoses, and plug one of these Biatches into my oiling system. Should be good for trips around the sun!
I'll see your ridiculous cooling system, and raise you my dry ice dispenser cooling idea,..working with engineering as we speak as well as patents and trademark infringement legal issues with my attorney ... I'm going to have the coolest Harley ever, literally and figuratively !!!
