If all the coolers connect with hose clamps why couldn't someone use a transmission oil cooler and a filter adapter. They come in all different sizes and hayden makes a lot of them.

I approached Jagg about adding a second cooler on the left downtube and in series with the first cooler, and they said that oil pressure might be a factor in that decision, but didn't say it wouldn't work. I've heard of others doing this without problems.


I'm doing that right now, but in a different configuration. I am running the old HD 10 row oil cooler (back when it was made by Jagg for HD) down low on the front, and a Spurgin Bad Boy heat sink style oil cooler on the left down tube. The Spurgin is the only one I have found that will clear the Lower Fairings. I run them in series where the oil goes through the low mounted one first, and then up to the Spurgin before returning to the adaptor.
Please let me know how this works in case I should decide on a second cooler in the future.
It works great. No problems yet. Here are some pics with the lowers off.

Where do you get the adapter for the oil filter?

I got a Jagg thermostat adaptor.
Here's one on e-bay.

Sure they would work. The issue is mounting and clearance so most folks buy one that is engineered to fit out of the box. But I'm sure someone with all the tools and know how should be able to fab up brackets, check hose clearances, and make a tranny cooler fit.
