So are you guys seeing a difference in temps after installing these oil coolers compared to before? I just don't see how they work sitting still if no air is flowing over them. If you are running down the road the wind should be doing it's job cooling the motor right? I was thinking about installing one and then got to thinking to hard maybe?
it fan assited kicks on at 230 shuts off at 190. but your bike has so much black on it u wont need it cuz its faster. lol

I didn't realize it had a fan on it. May just go ahead and order it. How much is it $$ ?

dr vtwin will hook u up with a killer price ask for shawn or drew. should need help on the install let me know. ultra cool recommends using the switched wire that runs threw the head light. i ran mine to the brake switch which is a cleaner look and u dont see any wires. i think he sells them for $399.00 not sure good luck.

Makes no difference when you're in traffic. My experience is it makes marginal difference when your moving except more air on your legs.

The Jerry Rigs system also might help cool the oil and should make it easier to do an oil change. I don't have one, but it looks like a fine idea to me.

Just don't put on the big engine fan Harley sells to go on the left side of the motor. It may cool the motor somewhat but it will make your right leg hotter the burning coals. This is while driving highway speeds. All that heat it blows from the engine goes right to your right leg.

I beg to differ. I have run the gamut with oil temp cooling techniques: syn oil, oil cooler, true duals, stage 1 and SERT dyno tune. Pulling the lowers in the summer has dropped the oil temp on the highway more than the others combined. I can now climb a 10 mile hill at 75 mph and 95 degrees with the oil temp NEVER exceeding 130.
