Default "Premium Oil Cooler Kit"

Anyone running this & if so, have you noticed a differance?

Premium Oil Cooler Kit for Touring Models

This cooler was designed specifically for Harley-DavidsonŽ to out-perform all other coolers in the industry. This cooler features a unique "Turbulator" system that evenly distributes oil across the cooling chambers. The air fins are designed to efficiently dissipate heat. This popular Touring oil cooler has been re-designed to simplify installation and enhance performance. The larger heat exchanger provides additional cooling efficiency. Kit features an adapter plate with integrated thermostat that allows oil lines to connect to the oil filter bracket. The thermostat activates at 185°F (85°C). Kit comes complete with mounting hardware and precut oil lines. Kit includes Chrome Oil Cooler Cover.

I had it installed on my last three bikes. No complaints. Use it with synthetic oil and it dropped the temps about 10-15 degrees.

I've read & heard running regular oil and not synthetic will cool off our rides by as much as 10 degrees. I'm having my 5000 mile service done this time with regular oil vs. the synthetic.

Really? I've always heard just the opposite.

I have one installed on my bike and it helps lower the temps some, I run Syn oil in mine which helped to lower the temps also.

Worth every penny. I put on on my RG and in the Memphis summer heat I never saw oil temps above 235. If I can stay out of in town traffic it runs about 220. Last weekend the temp here was 55deg. and the auto thermostat worked good, after bout 50miles on back road, no traffic or stops oil temp was 190.

Mine has been on the bike for over 2Ŋ years with no problems. It works as advertised, keeping my oil temps very moderate even in heavy summer traffic and running lean AFR's for better gas mileage. In summer oil temps stay at about 200° once warmed up and as long as I'm running 45mph or more. If I hit traffic it will increase, but usually not higher than about 210-215°, with the highest being 230° in heavy traffic, and that only rarely. The install on my '07 was very easy, and I firmly believe all TC engines should be equipped with an oil cooler if you ever ride in temperatures of 75° or more.

This is incorrect and is the first time I've ever heard anyone say this. There is plenty of evidence to support the fact that synthetic oil will lower your oil temperatures over fossil oil.
