I have a 01 Super Glide and was wondering if anyone has put an oil cooler on one. I'm thing about putting one on mine.

I haven't put one on my Dyna yet, but that bike is now parked waiting on me to rebuild it again (did it in '99, but did not split the case or tranny - now the tranny is shot). When I redo that bike, I will definitely put an oil cooler on it. Riding here in the Houston area warrants one. Jagg will be the cooler maker.

Some decent looking ones at J&P Cycles, twin tubes that mount to the down tubes.

Thanks. I need to put one on my bike. It gets pretty hot down here in South Georgia and I do a good bit of interstate and country road riding (160 miles a day just to work and back). I'm hoping to put one on in the next few weeks.
This type of riding shouldn't necessitate an oil cooler. As long as you're moving at a pretty good clip things should stay pretty much within limits. Stop and go or sitting at a lot of lights is an entirely different matter.

I put a harley oil cooler on my 07 softtail custom. My temps went from 230, 235 average to 195, 200 average. I just love it.
I got a tip from Marv Beals over at Setrab (Jagg) for some braided SS oil lines that will replace the ones they send you. They have compression fittings on the ends, and will work with the nipples on the oil filter adapter and oil cooler. Here is the link:

Just a thought, if Harley Davidson thought their motors needed an oil cooler wouldn't you think they would install them at the factory as I understand their motors operated at 230 degrees.

True but I like the added protection as I drive two up and tow a trailer. I installed an HD oil cooler, oil temperature gauge ( in place of ambient temp gauge)and installed the sending unit in the oil pan. Definately a documented noticeable difference in oil temperature and it does take longer for it to heat up when sitting in traffic.
