Normal TC Temps???

You're probably right about the oil coolers. You'd have to cool the oil quite a bit to make any signicant changes to engine temp and you don't want oil temps too low.
Probably not much lower than 220-230 really. That's why the fan assisted ones have a switch to shut 'em off or don't turn on until the oil reaches a certain temp.
I did drop my idle temp like 15° by advancing my idle timing 4° from 16/17 to 20 and I run open loop with my cruise AFR @ 13.8 and idle @ 13.5. I could give a **** about mpg.

Yes. Each to his own, I just don't like running hot. I installed the Jagg 10 row low mount and it did drop cruise temps; I don't recall how much but I am thinking about 10*. The cooler doesn't help much at slow speeds with no air passing through it but makes me feel good.

Nothing wrong with it. It's just a different location than the OP. I have 2 6 rows on my FXR. Your temps are in line with the oil temps on my 07 FLHTC. It's got an HD cooler.

That depends how you ride and the oil you use. There are some engines that see oil temps approaching 300° on the track and no worse for wear but they don't run MC oil either. No MC oil can withstand those temps. Waaayyy too much detergents and foaming in MC oil. The price you pay for wanting 10,000 mile OCIs.
