Please let me know if it did improve engine temperature. That's what would determine whether or not I would do the mod.

Senior Boarder Posts: 255 Re:Oil cooler ??? 9 Months, 2 Weeks ago   Very tidy OC Blue star, where I ride in summer it's often 38-43C. Stationary in traffic my clutch doesn't like it either. I put on a K & P engineering oil filter , the casings alloy and ribbed for cooling, they say it drops oil temp by about 10 degrees or so. The other bonus is that I just wash out the filter and re fit..   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access. #528301 zip1700 (User) Fresh Boarder Posts: 83 Re:Oil cooler ??? 9 Months, 2 Weeks ago   For now i switched to Mobile1 and a heat sink idea that I came up with that protects the oil filter. Only costs $3.85 and looks awesome and protects the filter. It seems to have solved the problem. Shifting like new and I can find neutral every time. Now I can take my time on making an oil cooler. I had to run the course with the breakin oil after the rebuild. I think that was the biggest part of it   Logged     Last Edit: 2012/08/09 10:33 By zip1700.   The administrator has disabled public write access. #528353 tibadoe (User) No destination needed Platinum Boarder Posts: 1419 Re:Oil cooler ??? 9 Months, 2 Weeks ago   "Here's a couple of pix of mine. The only thing I did different than Tibadoe was I used braided SS line for the oil lines." I like the looks of the braided lines. Nice!   Logged     Joe 2009 Road Star Silverado S 2009 Ultra Classic Electra Glide Star Touring & Riding HOG   The administrator has disabled public write access. #528364 blue_star (User) Better to burn out than fade away!

It does cost more but I figured with my luck I'd have a rock or something puncture a rubber line and drain my oil while riding. The cooler does seem to help. With the outdoor temps in the mid 90's, oil temp is running about 190-195. Easier restarting on hot motor and seems to be a little quieter too.   Logged     http://s1271.beta.photobucket.com/user/bluestar825/library/   The administrator has disabled public write access. #529239 zip1700 (User) Fresh Boarder Posts: 83 Re:Oil cooler ??? 9 Months, 2 Weeks ago   Thanks Blue Star, I am getting the diverter and making a cooler rad.   Logged     Last Edit: 2012/08/10 22:54 By zip1700.   The administrator has disabled public write access.
