Waste of money

 

I agree

 

I have used one of these on my last bike and I have it on my current bike. Granted it does not replace a oil cooler. But I disagree that it is a waste of money, it does make a difference, it acts as a heat sink, and it does pull heat out of your oil filter. Its only like 10 bucks, I'm sure none of us have wasted 10 bucks on our bike before.

 

Anything that makes it hard to get the filter off is no good in my opinion.Dang filter magnets,no more

 

It's not a magnet and it doesnt make it any harder to get the filter off.

 

It works just a well as a muffler bearing.

 

that's why i asked...for $10, it can't hurt right?...another question, what about those fan kits?...to me the big ones are fugly and how much can those little ones really cool

 

I have never wasted $10 on my bike, every add on was totally functional [8D]

 

I have one on my 1997 FLSTS and it does lower the Oil temp. Haven't put on on the new 08 SG but I would if it came up. I tested a before and after run with it 10 years ago and found out it lowered the oil temp almost 10 degrees
Not bad for a couple of buck. It is a heat sink and it takes about 10 seconds to install and remove.
If you don't think so - try grinding the fins off your motor and see what happens
