I want to take the adapter off my filter housing and hook up my oil cooler without it or a thermostat. How can I do this. any help would be appreciated.
07 FLHX and using a jagg 10 row low mount cooler

 

anyone????

 

I don't really see how your going to tap into an oil flow with out (1) using an adapter or (2) removing the oil filter assy mount and taking oil straight out of the front of the block or putting an adapter on the front of the block case to be sandwitched between the oil filter assy mount, or (3) get the oil returning to the pan?

What exactly do you have in mind?

 

Ditto.

 

Why do you want to do this?

 

S&S makes an oil filter mount thats already tapped to run oil lines from.
I have one, and ran my oil lines into my highway bar.

 

I believe it's been done, PM PhilM, I don't think he's using the thermostat and say's it OK...

 

The guy wants to eliminate both the adapter & thermostat while still running the cooler.
Only 1 company making a filter mount that's already tapped to run oil lines...S & S.

 

What are the two plugs in the front of the oil filter mount (take a look on your bike) not used now?
They are there, go look on your bike.
See attached - part item #1, the two next to the oil filter.

I am wanting to remove the thermostat and also remove the adapter to remove any leak points and and also not have to worry about the adapter becoming loose during oil changes. Thanks piggy, that maybe exactly what I am looking for. I have wondered about the plugs in the filter housing. would be really simple if the cooler could just be hooked in right there.
