What do you guys think of putting oil coolers so low, where the front tire can kick rocks back into it? Seems to be the thing now. My 1980 Low Rider came with a cooler, but it was mounted up high on the down tubes, where air could get to it between the lower triple tree and the fender. Seems like that would be the logical place to put one. Will Harley's current oil pump put out enough pressure to pump the oil that high?
Actually, when I bought my 2010 SG Scarlett Red I thought it was orange. I looked orangish at night undr the showroom lights. When I looked at it the next morning I realized it was more red than orange. HD then offered the Tequila Sunrise for a 2012 color, so I sold my "mid-life crisis" Ducati Diavel (162 HP) and bought the 2012. End of story...not.
I saw that Tequila Sunrise in person a couple weeks ago. It is a nice color.
Anyone have any information on where the UltraCool is manufactured? The web site really has no mention of any specs. Lots of pretty pictures but really no technical information for those of us who want to know the inner details of how it's made.

I ordered one last week and should be doing the install this week.
I'll document it a bit and get back to you. '11 SG 103.
Here's a quick pic of my light.
Did the swap of my stock HD cooler with this one but have some questions for the builder before I give my full review and post my step by step, with pics.
I emailed them tonight and when they get back to me I'll post the rest.
