Here's my Jagg's w/ thermostat controlled, waterproof fans

 

they are good anytime.i have had one on every harley i have owned. and that is five of them and never no problem.

 

Centerline did you get that cooler powder coated?

 

That is exactly what it is, though not a Moroso....they probably stole the design from Moroso.
When I get it installed I will give an update on it. I don't currently have a temp gauge on the bike but I can do a fifteen minute idle hooked to the lap top before adding the cooler and look at the temp that way. After the install, I will do the same thing and that should give me a good idea of the temp difference. An interesting thing about the so-called "heat sink" design is that they dissipate heat regardless of air flow. In other words, without a fan, the typical radiator oil cooler does not do too much when sitting in traffic.

 

Domenicp, no this is the way it came. It does have a heavy decorative chromed cover with a bar and shield logo cutout that I obviously did not put on. The HD unit is thermostat equipped.

 

Never seen fans before... I assume that's a custom mod? Where'd you get the fans?

 

Ordered 60mm (80's were too big, but should have ordered 70's) waterproof fans online. http://www.orionfans.com/. They were $35.00 each. A little expensive, but will run underwater. The cooler adapter t-stat opens at 175 and full open at 185. I also added a T-stat control for the fans (like you use on a cage), putting the sensor on the discharge oil line from the cooler and set the stat for 210 deg to start the fans if sitting in traffic. Still need to add finger guards to the fans.

 

I've got in line coolers on the left down tube of both bikes. One bike has the auto thermostat adapter on it. Not a big fan of the coolers hanging behind the front wheel to collect road debris. It will assist in in preserving the oil's life by bringing down the temps. The fans on the cooler is quite unique. Even when the bike is sitting still it is still removing heat from the oil thru convection/ radiation, like the old steam radiator heaters used to.

 

any with the Jagg themostat filter adapter......is it really black as it appears in the pics on the website?
thanks

 

So how does this "heat sink" remove heat differently that a radiator? Not trying to be sarcastic here buy don't they both "radiate" heat? And both "radiate" more heat with airflow?
