RE: OIL TEMP 275!
On a hot day in stop n go traffic you'll get those kind of temps for short periods of time. As long as not too prolongedyou're OK.
This is where synthetic oils come into play, in the most extreme conditions you're OK when such temps peak.

If it's a dipstick take it out, put the stock back in and get what you can for it in ebay!
I had the same one, I put up with it for about a week.

RE: OIL TEMP 275!
I used a deep fry temp gauge. This is after the bike died on me, luckely while I was pulling my driveway.
Harley's premium oil cooler is back ordered, anyone have a recommendation? The Jagg 740-858 says Requires offset oil filter adapter.
What is that?

My 2006 Ultra normally runs about 180-200. On long trips it goes to 120-130 on 90F days which is about 20-30 degF less than before I installed a Jag oil filter adapter and fork type oil cooler. I removed the absolutlely waste of space, waste of money at factory level ambient temp gauge and installed a oil temp gauge in its place which the MOCO should have done.Whoever came up with the ambient gauge needs to be sacked!

The Jagg 10-row looks like a good product, as does the FLH Lowmount, the latter being similar to the HD Premium that fits neatly under the voltage regulator. The adapter fits between your oil-filter housing and the filter, and they also make a version with a thermostat (#4700), which I think is essential.

RE: OIL TEMP 275!
I live in south Fla, My Road King screaming eagle 1550runs 275 degreeson a hot day. I've been told by several HD mechanics that is O.K. Never the less Istillinstalled a oil cooler and now my oil runs around 220 to 230on a hot day. 
I work on high performance marine diesel engines for a living, the sump oil runs around 220 to 230 degrees. Not sure why I brought that up. lol
