The "heat problem" we all face is caused by extremely hot exhaust gases running just under our thighs so I don't understand how oil coolers or synthetic oil will help. Cool the oil, sure and I run both but to alleviate the "problem" you need to cool the exhaust temps with a richer fuel mixture - ie a tuner of some kind.

I bought the Vance & Hines True Duel Header Pipes. You can use any mufflers even stock if you want.
Thats what I did as well.
