I installed a Jagg on my 2007 a couple of years ago. I did not measure the temperature difference, so I have no idea if it does anything significant or not. It just makes me feel better, I suppose.

I installed the HD one just for piece of mind. I don't like that the motor is only air cooled so I opted to add the oil cooler on it. I really think it should come from the factory with one on it though.

OK here is my stupid question for the day. Other than extra oil, does the cooler change the "oil change" precedure?

I change the oil in exactly the same was as I did before I installed the cooler. I am sure a little oil stays in the cooler and does not drain, but I am not worried about it. Even without a cooler you never get all the oil out of the motor anyway.

Same here. We get a lot of triple digit days in the summer, so I figure my engine needs all the help it can get.

I've got coolers on both bikes, 02 FXD carbed and 05 FXDLI. I usually take a de-stress ride after work and lately it's been in the mid 90's here. Also use syn oil, a bit over kill maybe but it's my motor and a major investment.
