Should yell at them to crack the case, stroke it, and throw a 110"+ kit in there

Yea! What he said......

Hell if they're replacing the flywheel it's just a short trip to the machine shop from there........bigger is always better right?

Yeah!...and they should do it free because I've made two payments on it since it's been in the shop. Its getting ridiculous now.

Yeah. I wish they would. The whole motor and tranny were disassembled. Its a total rebuild. They said it's better that a new motor off an assembly line because they can ensure all the parts are working right. I'm just pissed that I'm not riding. They should set aside bikes to use when your bike's in the freakin shop for more that 2 weeks or so. This is bullshyt.

Anyone had any experience with a JAGG oil cooler? I'm all paranoid now about engine performance and longevity.

There was a thread on it in the Softail section this week, user is claiming good results

Also check out the last few issues of American Iron, they did a very detailed article on oil coolers

I run the HD one and I'm happy with it

i saw the thread mentioned, and have seen other threads elsewhere.. people claim that they work very well. I'm considering getting on this winter. I'm glad this game up actually because I need to email UltraCool and verify their "reefer" fits softail models. Their old one did, but the new one is completely different. Point being, I like the look of the UltraCool (and it's $125 less) over the Jagg just because there isn't a big honkin radiator hanging from my downtube
