Its actually an old idea, but a good idea. I may have to try it!

 

It comes from the panhead days, my ex-leo pan had it done to it from the Police mechanic.

 

looks promising anyone have anymore photos of the process.

 

The only down side I could see would be if you dropped your bike. Even a small fall could possibly put a hole in your crash bar. If that happened you'd be stuck and waiting for a tow. Most of us won't drop our bikes, but **** happens every now and then. Just something to think about before you do the mod.

Good luck, Ralph

 

No problem, just loop the rubber hoses and you are back on the road.

 

The reason that I am looking at an oil cooler is that I ride two up most of the time, and have recently started pulling a trailer. Plus it gets dadgum hot in the summer around here.

Those of you that have used the crash bar for a cooler...is it your experience that it is more efficient at cooling the oil than the HD premium or the 10 row Jagg?

Thanks

 

Anyone got updated links on this? All the links on page one are dead and all the searches turn up the same dead link.

 

No but its one more thing to burn yourself on when servicing your ride. I don't need hot highway pegs eather............

 

That will void the warranty. LOL

 

I don't think i would ever ride slow enough or in parade mode enough to need a cooler...3 years 55k miles and i haven't felt the need yet...if i thought i needed one i would get a conventional proven method....There is no way i can personally feel good enough about the integrity 100% of the stock used to build that crash bar and the welds??? Het it's otherwise a good rig.
