Default Need Ideas-117 running hot!

The set up: 117 ci, HD oil cooler, oil temp gauge connected to oil pan.Gas:93 oil: Torco straight 50 weight. I was running 250 degrees on the highway in 90+ heat. I was coming up on a oil change, so I went ahead and changed after the ride- I haven't ridden it yet. What idea's do you have for getting the engine to run cooler. I would like to hear from folks who are running my size engine or larger. thanks in advance-

have you looked at "oil buds" its a large oil cooler that fits between the frame rails underneath the bike, clain a 30 degree drop in temps, I believe it , its very large in surface area not cheap around 600.00 but compared to a burnt up motor? I'm most likely gonna put one on my 110 once I heat that motor up a bit
