Default Harley Cooler
I just finished installing the Harley oil cooler on my 10 Street Glide. Install was a snap and it really is a pretty tidy looking cooler. Hoses are pre bent etc. No leaks that I can see from running it in the garage. Can't wait for the mud to dry up on my road so I can get out for that first ride!

The new HD touring bikes come standard with an oil cooler. If HD thought it was important enough to spend money on while still remaining at the same price point, I would assume that there must be something to it....$.02

Is it an absolute necessity, probably not....Does it drop oil temperature, which is a good thing on an air cooled motor, sure does! I put one on because I wanted to, simple as that!
