I just finished reading an article in AIM on coolers. They discussed the JAGG cooler as being one that HD originally used. You guys seem to be pleased with the HD cooler which does look better installed low on the frame vice the left frame tube. Does the JAGG have any installation nuances such as the infamous 7/16 allen wrench? Any suggestions on where to buy that wrench?
I just finished install the Jagg horizontal premium with the adapter and anti spin attachment yesterday. the total job took 2 hours and no special tools, 7/16", 1/4" and 1" sockets and a couple small Allen's to assemble the filter adapter. Also used blue medium locktite on the small allen screws. Piece of cake job, even a caveman could do it. Oh, wrong commercial...
Just got the oil cooler for my '09 Ultra and no instructions...the dealer hasn't been able to find anything and their computers are down....help! Does anyone have a set of instructions that they could email to me? kellys1308@yahoo.com
If the oil cooler and the lines hold oil, which of course they do, then the bike will certainly require more oil in order to keep the same pressure up.
This, by the way, is also a benefit of an oil cooler. The more oil in the bike the cooler it will run.
The 7/16 allen head is the same as the lugnut wrench on my 71 Shovelhead, any place that sells old Harley parts and tools have them including J&P Cycles. Spike
You guys always talk about finding that 7/16 allen wrench when all you really need is a 1/4 bolt with 4 nuts all locked together. You know take a 1" bolt lock 4 nuts on it and stick it in a 7/16 socket and you have the equivilent of a 7/16 allen.
That's what I did and it worked perfect.
And the cooler works great also!!!
Here is a thought for you: the last two issues of American Iron magazine has a running, in depth article about oil coolers. Before making your decision, read the articles. I have the premium oil cooler setup from Moco I installed a little over a year ago. It is not a bad cooler but I am going to be switching out to a Jagg this winter. You will benefit from having the proper oil cooler.
That was a great series of articles on oil coolers. I just wonder if the oil pressure drop is that big a deal or not. Obviously more is better but is it a huge factor. I like the way the HD mounts between the frame down tubes better. Would have to consider the jagg superior after reading the articles from AIM.
