A regular oil change vertical on a jack drains down nice. Stuff a piece of oil pad under filter for a little drippage and good to go.
Way better than pulling a filter on the kick stand full of oil.
I have a standard HD cooler on mine but I do not drain from there.
That oil bud cooler looks good if seeing a standard cooler bothers you.

I guess that if I shot my bike regularly that would be the thing to have. It looks like it must mount under the frame tubes. If that is correct, that would make my lift even more difficult to use and since I wiped off a jiffy stand spring on a speed bump, I am more concerned with damaging anything under the frame. If it mounts to the down tubes, that should eliminate the under frame concerns but then it would "pre-heat" the air flowing over the voltage regulator.
Perhaps if the video showed the installation, I would have no concerns.

Does not mount under the frame
Buddy has videos of the product being bashed with a hammer and shotgun and still holding pressure...
I am running one on my bike and am really impressed with it
If you do a search I did a write up last year on it and have not looked back with the purchase...
just a great product and Buddy is a great guy plus the unit is made completely in USA...
