HD Oil Cooler
Can anyone let me know what kind of drop in oil temp I can get from a HD premium oil cooler?
I want to cool my oil when I'm on the road riding but would like to know if the drop in temp is worth the price?

The HD premium cooler will lower the oil temp roughly 20-25 degrees, reducing the operating temp by roughly 10%. I have one on my 2009 SG and I can definitely tell the difference in the lower heat.
Is it worth the costs? I say yes for $270 for the cooler. You will need to decide for yourself.

I had a HD cooler installed during 1000 mile service. During stop and go in town riding it runs about 230, on the road 180-210. My cooler was $320 w/tax, dealer chg to install $158 ( 2hr labor ). Lots of $ to install an item Harley should include as stock.
On the plus side it is a little more comfortable to ride and I have a little peace of mind that the engine may last a little longer.
Had a oil temp gauge installed at the same time. I have paid my Harley tax for a while.

I would imagine that it couldn't be a "Bad" thing to have one. Might be a project for me over the winter.
