Ya did fine attaching it but if you want to display it in the post you need to get an account at someplace like Photobucket.com. Then you can upload them to there and link them to your posts here.
Check on the main forum page and there is a pinned posting that has all the instructions for posting pics.

BTW I have no idea what the plugs are for, but I'll check my manuals and see if I can figure it out. I "think" they are in/outs for a remote filter or cooler. But if you want to use a cooler its better to get the kit as the piece you put on behind the filter is a thermostat assembly that will not open until the engine oil reaches 185 degree's.

Well I have ordered the Harley Oil cooler 26157-07, but I did not order the cover 74669-05 it looks good but I don't think the cooler will work as efficiently with it. I also noticed most only about two out of sixty Harley owners in my area had oil coolers on their bikes in San Jose California area.

Default RE: oil cooler what do you have

I just recently had a conversation with an old school gent about this. He gave me a great idea, he drilled and tapped his highway bar and ran the oil through that, it holds over half a quart, is hanging right out there in the wind, and it doesn't block airflow to the engine. I dont run a highway bar, but it makes me think about running one.[8D]
