I went with the oil bud: http://www.hotbikeweb.com/tech/1003
It is certainly the biggest and probably the most expensive, but most of the time you do get what you pay for.
They or Bud the designer or inventor guarantees a 35 degree in temp. _hbkp_oil_bud_cooler_touring_model_installation/viewall.html
Good luck.

Nice job. I can see how that will be more protected. After reading the responses I have been leaning toward the fans as there is no risk of leaks. This was in comparison to the lower, horizontal mounted oil cooler and like you, concerned about vulnerability to damage. Do you know if having lowers will interfere with either mounting and/or air flow? I am not planning on removing the lowers.
Thank you for sharing your info and pics.

If you think the oil filter is a tight fit in your bikes present condition wait until you add the oil cooler with a fan.
A wards fan will do your bike more good in stopped traffic than an oil cooler with fan will. I have the jagg fan assist and the fan kicks on at 190*.

It cycles on it's own with the Thermostatic switch Jason sells. Very impressed with the FCS fans. They are by far the most significant factor in cooling the motor.
