I never had the Ultra. Hope you can get someone who has one to chime in. I have the HD oil cooler and it works great. It has a thermostat, no electrics or fan, and supported at all HD dealers. It does cool the oil 20-25 degrees at highway speed.

My first customer who bought the Ultra Cool installed it last week. He said that he had a Harley oil cooler prior to the ultra cool and the cooling difference is unbelievable. The ultra cool works far better.
I don't run an oil cooler on my bike so I don't have firsthand experience either way.

I think either is better than nothing, but whether or not it's needed is the great debate of all.
Personally, I can't stand the way the Ultra-Cool looks so I won't go for it. I know that's not the best reason NOT to buy something, but considering my bike runs fine without one all together, I might as well buy the one I like looking at more
. I'm sure both are good for the bike, a cooler engine can't be a bad thing.

The Ultracool is really neat, but I think I'd rather have a regular oil cooler like the Jagg (or whatever choice you like) combined with a Lenale fan. Reason being the fan will put air on the rear jug. Seems like a better use of fan/cooler combo.
