Where you live almost requires a oil cooler. You'll find a lot of different opinions on this subject. Mine..........Get one. Get it from 2Orangeharleys.com. Make it the new 10 row airfoil by Jagg with a thermostat base. You will be pleased. My FLSTC went from 230 down to 200 in the Alabama summer. There is some merit to a motorcycle engine needing to get hot, and 200 is ideal for me and mine.

Tatersalad...

I have just installed the HD Oil Cooler (HD PN26157-07)on my '07 Fat Boy. Easy install, smart looks, andit has a built-in thermostat. However, since it is a brand new install I have not got any temperature data yet. I do know that Florida summers get pretty darn hot! In heavy traffic my Gold Wing and VTX fans seem to be on a lot of the time.

I have read many articles about the oil coolers and their effectiveness, and the opinions seem to besplit about 50-50. Personally...I like them.

We'll see how effective it is this summer.

Steve
