Thanks guys
I did just order the wards t-stat for the oil cooler
I have a HD oil temp gauge in the dip stick
usually running 245 to 270 when I get done riding
prob gonna move to a new oil temp gauge in the dash replacing the worthless airtemp gauge, thats for a winter project.
Im still leaning towards this uncoated SS Ho Pipe
Appreciate all the feed back, May be calling Jet Hot.
And yes the Lowers may have to start coming off in the summer time as well

Well I cant wait till the new wards t-stat gets here.
Checked the Oil Cooler lines with an IR gun this morning after our Breakfast ride.
One hose was 75 degree, the other was 110.
Im thinking oil is not flowing thru the cooler

If the thermostat...if so equipped...isn't opening, then yeah...no oil...and if the thermostat isn't getting hot enough to open, then it won't open. If the engine oil isn't getting hot enough for the thermostat to open, then your observations fall into the 'normal' category. I think you're probably good.

I thought the t-stat opened @180. I need to check that.
Plus its warmed into the mid 70 now maybe ill go for another ride and see if I can get it a little warmer and try the readings again

Don't micromanage your engine! It'll drive you nuts!
