    Fans are good for doing parades. Oil cooler is the right choice.

    Yer not going to gain nothin with 60 weight oil. And as soon as it cools off yer gonna be in trouble.

    Mobile 1 20-50 synthetic oil is the best oil for yer application.
    But I know you can't hear this cause yer a application engineer. [​IMG]

    Listen to more than 3 folks telling you to get a Jag Oil cooler City Slicker.

    The 10 row low mount is what comes on all the harleys

    There are no adapter kits you need to buy with the HD cooler plus you can get it at a HD dealer. Might be made by jagg, don't know and if it is then all the better. Some of those aftermarket coolers have oil lines sticking out all places, looks ugly.

    Rubber oil hoses cut to length.
    That's what the cover helps do also.
    Go look at a new bike.

    City Slicker Chucktx addes one to his 06 Electra Glide Standard.
    Wonder what it looks like.

    I wouldn't like a cover either as I would assume that it does prohibit flow. Really think that it stops enough flow to be an issue?? Not sure. I personally would like one that as hidden as it possibly could be. :D

    Like I said
    The air flow is good. Its not restricted.
    Its in yer head.
    Air flow depends on how fast the bike is moving.:gah:

    Priorities.

    Cooler Oil with a oil cooler at the frame, Or no oil cooler and hotter Oil.
    The looks don't bother me. Its what it does for me.
    I ain't lookin for faults in the looks of the Oil cooler.
    My bike has never been intered in a Bike show.
    Its practical and to ride and make trips and tote things.
