Hey Z, real world knowledge would be if you really do that many miles, a cooler is something you absolutely do not need or all Harley's would come with one. They are air cooled. And please do not put a fan on a Harley! 
Cop bikes come with them for slow speed traffic, parades, funerals, escorting, etc.
Just ride.

I searched your site, couldn't find it. Whats your pricing? does your employee sale factor into price?

I went from the HD cooler (26155-09) to the Jagg fan assisted cooler (FP2400) this past summer.
The HD cooler was installed in August of 2009 and I put the Jagg unit on in July of this year.
I'm north of Chicago so we don't get as many hot days as you probably do but we have had days in the low to mid 90's.
The HD cooler kept the oil about 190° going down the road while the Jagg cooler runs about 170°. I'm not sure why the Jagg runs cooler unless its just more effective or the thermostat is set to open sooner. Either way, the Jagg keeps the oil cooler going down the road.
The fan on the Jagg also works well. It will not stop the oil temp from increasing when stuck in traffic but it does go up much slower than the HD.
Between the two, I'd recommend the Jagg unit.
Hope this helps.

I'm also looking for a cooler and have it narrowed down to the Jagg 2400 and the Harley model. The Harley model comes complete for around $240-260 on ebay and the Jagg 2400 is about $200 but you also have to buy the oil filter adabter (Jagg 4600) that runs another $100. Not much differance in price, I think I'll pay the extra money for the three more rows and be done with it. If I don't I know doen the road I'll wish I would have gone with the bigger cooler. Also Active Army, FWIW. Airborne!

Actually, according to Harley-Davidson it starts opening at 185*F see P/N 26157-07 or 26157-11.
Also water does not evaporate at less than 212*F. A thermometer reads the "Average" temperature of something. Because some of the water molecules are moving fast (warmer) and others are moving slow (cooler) some may be moving at 212*F. Over time the molecules that are at 212*F and that are at the surface of the oil will "evaporate." However, the concentration of water in the oil will eventually stabilize at the same partial pressure as exists in the air surrounding the oil. The ONLY WAY that you can be sure that ALL of the water has been evaporated from the oil is when you see more than 212*F Oil Temperature. This is because the oil will NOT go over 212*F UNTIL all of the water is gone. You may have another opinion; but the laws of physics simply will not work for your opinion in this universe.
Also, the reason ice cubes get smaller in your fridge over time has to do with refrigerators that have auto defrost cycles . . . and the ice cubes get defrosted along with the rest of the freezer.
