LOL no problem!!!

Oil Cooler.. I asked Jamie at Fuelmoto and he said it would run a bit hotter but still within very reasonable temps. However he did say adding an oil cooler is never a bad idea.. I am adding one... Can't answer your other question..

 

ChristoHD, I didin't have releases done, my bike is a 2012 and they have automatic releases. I did however, turn them off with the tuner for a while to see how it was and had no problem firing the bike. In fact, it turned right over, no extra revolutions, reminded me of my shovelhead, instant fire. I did turn them back on though because with the added compression and the MOCO making things cheaper and cheaper, I figured in the long run, the less strain on the starter the better. As far as oil coolers, again standard on mine, I think oil coolers are always a good idea on a Harley.....

 

as i said a few replies back, no compression releases, no issues with starting. as far as an oil cooler, i put one on my bike last year when the hd dealer in tx had a special on the premium oil cooler for $200.00. like others, i did not feel i **had** to do it, but i wanted to do it as an oil cooler is never a bad idea......

 

IMO any TC motor from a stone-stock 88" on up needs an oil cooler. If you plan on keeping the bike for 25k miles, don't bother--but it will help keep oil temps in control, and IMO that is good long-term insurance for both the oil and the engine.

 

Based on everyone's feedback on this thread and the FM 107 thread as well - I called Direct Harley Parts and ordered the Jagg FP2400 Fan Oil Cooler. They were very helpful on the phone. Very good prices! And a little extra kick if you are a Forum Member.

Thanks everyone, and especially to Jamala00 for allowing me to borrow his thread for a bit! :-)

 

Another crazy question throw out there. Should you change your oil right prior to build or does FM do this as part of build process? Post build break in how long you run the oil before first change? jamala00 excuse me too not to hijack

 

They will change your engine oil and primary. You run their oil for 1000 miles then swap it out.

 

You guys ask away man.. I've got my questions answered... I just need to schedule with Jamie to get my mod done..!!

 

Both? Primary & engine oil, or just the engine oil? After the 1000 miles.

 

My starter clutch took a dump after 4000 miles. I would have compression releases done and I also would recommend the oil cooler. I don't have either but I see both in my future.
