Not incorrect. Although the JAGG and HD adapters have common elements they are not the same; they both are sandwich type adapters, they both have an inlet and an outlet port, and they both have a thermostat(optional). HD adapter is a single cast piece, and allows oil to pass through the cooler before it is filtered. The JAGG adapter is multiple machined pieces, and passes oil through the filter before it passes to the cooler. With the HD adapter the cooled oil is more resistant to passing through the filter, resulting in a greater pressure drop. This is why JAGG puposely redesigned and engineered their adapter to create less presure drop. To call the JAGG adapter a Hunk of metal with two pipes is not only a discredit to the product, it is absolutely inacurate because it is comprised of several hunks of metal, precision machined and designed for maximum performance relative to oil flow in the Twin Cam.

If you say so, stop babying the bike and go ride it. I had not had any issues riding in AZ in the middle of summer, if anything i overheat before the bike does. Why not just rip out that air cooled engine with all the attachments to keep it cool and throw in something liquid cooled.

Yes I do say so, and heres why. You claim you are operating 2 bikes in 114F ambient temperatures for 5 hours and only producing oil temps of 225-240; anybody who pays attention to oil temps at all can clearly see that is way out of alignment. First of all how do you ride two bikes at the same time, and then try to use the temp gauge reading from one bike to make a claim about another bike that has no gauge. You obviously believe that you deserve some sort of recognition because you ride in a hotter climate than many, and you somehow think youve added more value to your own badassitude by posting bogus numbers and playing the hardcore, air cooled V twin, no oil cooler necessary card. You are a member of small group of extremely ignorant people who refuse to acknowledge one of the most fundamental proven performance premises, applicable to all motor sports; cooling contributes to improved performance, period. Oil, Coolant, CHT, Exhaust gas, Intake air charge, you name it and cooling it has a measurable benefit, not to mention operator comfort. BTW my wife is from Phoenix, where I have ridden my own bike for many miles and many hours commuting from El Paso, so I can say with great confidence that you are full of ****, sir.

That is only true if there are no variables, such as ambient temp, speed, load, etc.

truth be told, I advocate the use of any oil cooler, the brand and technology are less important. If you want to route oil thru your frame or handle bars, thats fine too.
