Oil cooler question

RE: Oil cooler question
Im thinking that the weather is fairly mild there, (ie.. not crazy hot like florida or texas) in which case I would steer you away from an oil cooler. These motors need the oil to reach a certain temp in order to lubricate properly, and an oil cooler will prevent that from happening in most circumstances. If you ride at alot of rallies, or in parades, the point is mute because the oil cooler needs air to pass through it (like a car radiator) for it to be effective anyway. Hope this helps.

RE: Oil cooler question
I am currently looking for different ways to cool my bike down, but I never thought about an oil cooler, besides it would look like a radiator, and them rice burners like to use them, trying to distance myself from that look. I upgraded the exhaust, installed a stage 3 air filter, and installed JACKELL's two inch tank lift, all of this seems to help some, but I am still in my quest.

I'm taking delivery of a FLHRSE4 sometime this month. It comes with an oil cooler, do you have the same concerns for the SERK 110's?
