There are several threads on the oil bud but I'm willing to save you the time of looking them up for my answer.

"That's too much money for an oil cooler. "

Devin and Kevin(DK) use the Jagg Oil coolers. In our experience, the Jagg Oil Coolers are less expensive and work better. You can use the LINK to see more information. Hope this helps you out

People that own them love them. They are expensive but most say a 35 degree drop in traffic and they are about indestructable.

I'd own one if I had the money.

X2, Jagg oil coolers are well built, do a great job and are a heck of a lot cheaper. I run one on my Softail.

I installed an OilBud Oil Cooler on mine and I agree they are a bit pricey but after researching them and having a conversation with Bud Clark I was sold. Quality isn't cheap. I had a hose clamp loosen up on me once with my old bike with the typical in row type oil cooler and it could have been catastrophic if i didn't catch it in time. No hose clamps with the OilBud Cooler. my opinion only.
