Oil cooler

I put the Ultra Cooler on two weeks ago and its great. It has an electric fan to aid low speed cooling, and it moves a lot of air. Dr V-Twin got me a great deal and fast shipping.
I will warn you, installation is a bit complicated because of the fan and cooler location. I ride in 100* weather everyday, so the trouble was worth the better cooling for me.

I put an oil bud cooler on after speaking w/a guy that I know that had the HD Premium cooler on his. He said that he still hits 300 degrees in the summer when his ultra is fully loaded and his wife is riding with him and they are crusing 80-85.
The oil bud cooler guarantees a 35 degree temp and they deliver that and then some.
In fact there is a used one in the classified section now.
I like them as they fit up in/recessed in your frame.
They are the biggest or have the most cooling surface on the market.
They are also the most expensive price wise.

Jagg makes one of the best oil coolers out there , I looked at the Ultracoolfl because I liked the idea of a fan , there are many issues with these units , I would get the Jagg or wait a few weeks if you want a fan as Jagg will be releasing a fan assisted oil cooler in a few weeks and it's quality is far superior

RSDUDA,
Looks like you are way up north, about any cooler should bring you down to more acceptable temps. Your considerations are, cost, appearance, function, hopefully origin of manufacture, and whatever goals you have in mind. My opinion JAGG is the best performing, nothing wrong with the HD cooler, Ultra Cool; for a fan assisted system it's not that impressive but its still better than a standard cooler. Oil Bud is extreemly tough, hidden out of view, and it works very well. There are also several other heat sink types from different manufacturers, or you can route it through your crash bar (proven effective and cheap).

Something is wrong with your friend's bike, as that is far higher than I'm seeing or anyone else I've seen report on the HD cooler. After four years in S. LA summers I see 230° maybe 2-3 times per year in gridlocked traffic, otherwise staying between 205-220° in the hot part of the year. He should check for sumping or some other cause for excessive heat.
