softail oil cooler kit
Underneath the filter are two 1/8" copper pipes. One with a T in it. It is in the return from the cooler and is where I mounted the temp sensor. They also provide some increased length for the braided lines.
It worked out pretty good. I am gonna do the 15k in a couple of days. Waiting on the filter. I'll take some picts of everything and post it. I'll put the drawing of the bracket up as well. I have had a few other inquiries.
They are redoing their website. You might not get all of the pictures. They have two sizes of billet. This is the smaller one. It is suppose to mount on the downtube of the frame. I wanted it where you see it so I remade the bracket.
They do know their stuff. They also make some wicked intake manfolds.

I have search almost every article I can find on the internet about oil coolers, (my daughters claim I suffer from OCD), I have decided the way to go is a "highway bar/crash bar" oil cooler. Several articles, on this forum discuss this style with photos.
Anyway, the factory bars are vacuum sealed at the factory to keep out moisture. Just drill two 11/32" holes in each side of the bottom mounting plate, one for a drain and one for the oil line hook-up, Install a JAGG Oil filter Adapter, JP Cycles '07, pg 959, $149.95, (get the one WITH the thermostat)sandwich it between the case and filter, add the oil lines and presto, cheap oil cooler. This cooler is always 10% open and begins to open more at 180 deg. It is full open at 190 deg. It keeps the oil temp about 195 to 200, no matter what the conditions. One of the posts here says you can still touch the inlet side, but it is warm. However, the return side is cool to the touch. We will see, as I plan to add one before Aug. 1. I have three 1 week trips in Aug and Sept.

Where did you get the oil lines and clamps? They make the cooler.

http://www.wimmermachine.com/ They are upgrading the site. Lot of their images won't load.
I am looking at maybe getting one. I was disheartened when I learned the oil CAPACITY of the softails. This would add a little more too? I run mine like a tour bike should. Lotsa miles.. I am wondering if I tour on it, if I should have a bigger capacity, cooler oil etc. getting ready now for a 5000 plus trip come early march! can't wait to get outa this snow!!!
so any ideas on capacity upgrade?

As far as capacity, I don't believe it adds much because you only have the hoses and very small veins, but it can't hurt.
I'm glad I put mine on... I needed all the help I could get.
