HD Oil Cooler vs. Bub 7 2:1
Has anyone else tried to install an HD oil cooler on a 2009 RoadKing that already has a Bub 7 2-into-1 ?
I just tried it yesterday and I could not complete the step where you mount the oil cooler adaptor assembly to the bike. I had to turn the assembly such that the flanges in the back of the adaptor fit into the bike's mount. When I did so, the top of the oil assembly bumped into the metal housing of the O2 sensor on the front header pipe of my Bub 7 2:1.
I tried for over an hour. Loosened the O2 sensor. Removed the sensor and tried to install it after the adaptor. All except filing down the oil assembly (which I won't do since the area in question is a non-replacable gasket).
Admittedly, I bought the exhaust when it first came out back in April, and I'm waiting to hear from the good folks @ Bub. But do any of ya'll have the same problem?
I wasn't quite whether to post in the Exhaust or the Oil collection, so I picked this Touring thread instead.
Any input appreciated/ Vic 'queasyRider'

yup
ah, thanks for confirming that. I was hoping that's how it works.
ya know, maybe it's time to dump these pipes. I'm still not complaining. they're just not for me given how quiet they seem to me. I think I'll post them for a trade for rino slip-ons or something. then I can still install that HD oil cooler and use the HD stock headers.
Thanks for the info!
