Actually, Jeff, its been a while since I read the directions on installing mine but I think the thermostat is in the adaptor you install for the cooler itself. I may have that wrong but seems like thats what I remember. It can't do anything but help the overheating situation, even if its sitting still it should cool it some.

P.S. Not to take away from the other bikes, but I voted for yours.

 

I don't think so based on the pictures that I am looking at in this post, and based on the oil coolers that I have installed on cars in a previous life. Most oil and tranny coolers are just radiators that fluid runs through the cooling effect is caused by 1 more fluid and 2 air flowing through the radiator which the oil is being redirected through.

Again haven't installed one of these on a HD, so I may be wrong, but I can't image why they would havea t'stat????

Yeah, you could be right. I'm not at my shop righ now, but I'm gonna check when I get home. But I think I remember reading something about a thermostat on the thing. Probably helps get the motor up to operating temp faster. Same as on a auto motor. Just replaced the one on my shop truck, it was stuck open and took forever to heat up and then it wouldn't get to proper temp until I replaced it.

 

it says a thermostat activates at 185 degrees.

does an oil cooler make that big of a difference because when in in stop and go traffic there wont be any airmoving acrossit!

 

HMMM I'll be damn, you learn something new every day.

Yea it will work a little in stop and go traffic just not as well as it will work when you are running at 70 down the road.

Thanks guys....

Jeff

 

Jeeze, thanks quackhead. I was beginning to think I dreamed reading about that somewhere. I'm the type that can read a novel and not remember s*** about what was in it, but give me a engine service manual on something and I retain most of it or at least where to look it up again.

 

I need one I think, couldn't hurt any. Just need the cash to buy one now
