you are wrong , the early models had hardly any instructions , if you can read there was an issue with oil temperature gauges not being compatible that is why they changed , the new ones are compatible , do a search on here , you will find several members who have bought them that have had the hose nipples out of the cooler leak , they have taken them to a radiator shop and had them brazed and them spray painted them black and this has worked , lastly I know several guys who have the system so I have seen it first hand and witnessed some of the problems first hand , I hope you enjoy your purchase but you couldn't give me one
My cooler came from Ultra Cool about 3 weeks ago. The instructions were vere clear and straight forward. The illustrations were very accurate. The installation could not have been more simple. There is no problem using the unit with an oil temp. gauge. The thermostat screws into the oil filter adapter, and so do the nipples where the hoses attatch. The other end of the hoses attatch to nipples that screw into the cooler. Believe me I would have picked up on poor engineering like that imeadiatly. I would have sent the product back if there were anything like that on it. Wheather they get on this website daily and answer all questions I cant tell you, but I do know they are happy to talk on the phone as long as you care to talk. I believe you are trashing a product you know nothing about. Just my opinion.

TJ 316, He wanted an opinion on a oil cooler for his bike,I would think if he go's with a Ultra Cool he would be getting a new one not one that is a couple of years old? I did a lot of research on oil coolers, the ultra cool looked like the best option for me, the fan is a no brainer! Jagg is a good product but the fan model is not out yet!

true the fan is a good option ,I am just saying if you are currently in the market I'd wait and buy Jagg, Marv at Jagg said they are done , he is waiting for the mounting brackets to arrive any day and then they will be up for sale , I will replace my HD Unit with one as soon as they are available

If Ultra Cool has got their act together with a good, reliable product and clear installation instructions, I wouldn't worry about any problems of the past. I would think they are a stand up company trying to do right and market a good product. I've heard that even Harley Davidson has had some problems with some of their products but they seem to eventually make it right and we keep on buying them.
