DK Custom released their oil filter relocation kit for the Dyna's today. Well now...




Ordered http://www.dkcustomproducts.com/CnC-...NC-OFR-UNI.htm

I'll post up an install thread with images when the kit arrives. Should be interesting; I'll find out how the clutch cable, my chrome clutch cable adjuster cover, my clutch cable clamps, and my +3" billet shift rod with heim joints complicate everything I'll post up whatever install tricks I figure out. I will be using Gates 400 PSI reinforced oil cooler hose and #16 injection clamps in place of the supplied hose and worm gear clamps.

Someone has to be Patient Zero, right?

 

Hmm, well now is right! Look forward to this, chop chop

 

No more Windows Vista and a new video game .

Looked at the '17 Dyna Lowrider S today. The sales guy, a good friend, told me that it was the bike for me. It was a beauty, that's for sure. Will have to think long and hard about what bikes to get rid of, to put that one in the garage. tp

What is the reason for the Mod?

 

It's basically to keep the old engine oil off the front isolator, if I can get a few more degrees of oil cooling with the billet filter more out in the wind I'll certainly take it; I use a FLO PCS4C permanent oil filter but I only pull that oil filter to clean it with the bike cold sitting on the J&S lift, when the bike is cold and upright the oil has drained back out of the filter housing and the filter doesn't drool old oil on the front isolator.

I've always believed that most of the vibration complaints on the Dyna's come either from poor vehicle alignment or the front isolator degrading from the contaminated engine oil being forever dropped on it when the oil filter is removed hot. A filter relocation makes sense; putting the oil filter directly over the isolator is a dumb design.

I've changed out my original isolator, performed the vehicle/engine alignment and needed to shim the face of the isolator to put it where the alignment wanted it to be. I've had no issues with vibrations since then. Relocating the oil filter is the next logical step for added cooling and never needing to worry about contaminated engine oil ever trashing the front isolator...

And yea, it does look a bit trick on top of all that

 

Took 6 hours today and installed a cafe fairing on the Low Rider S.

 

Hi Yukon42,
Very nice and very sleek.

Sounds like a smart plan. Would you be concerned or worried if you have a tip-over, could the filter get damaged?
