Gary over there at Late Nite V Twin walks you through every step of installing an oil cooler in a 2005 Harley Davidson Softail. But this install is the same for a shipload of Softails! Lots more videos to come!
Love your work you don't skip or rush anything. It is all there for you to see Im 70 year old from the UK and just bought a new 2020 fat boy keep up the videos.
Several concerns.. one yes copper is softer but a better conductor for heat transfer and better for removing heat. Another issue is location. Putting it on the front gets large flow of air, aerodynamics 101. Airflow under bike tucked up in with flat blades opposing the actual airflow and not getting good airflow. Lastly the heat temps are hotter the closer you are to the asphalt. In sure it's an upgrade from nothing but definitely there are better choices and solutions.
Great work easy to understand. I have a Softail with Abs you said won't fit but looks like it would?. And would love see you do a cam swap on a late Softail your very easy to understand. Thank you. Anthony
Nice ... I just added the Harley cooler for my Forty Eight...and it is a solid 20 degree cooling and sounds great and I feel a better response twisting the throttle.. went about 100 miles yesterday and never went over 200... I think coolers are the way to go with any air cooled engine.
just installed an oil bud on my 2012 HD ultra limited...this was a literal pain in the ass...make sure you receive ALL of the parts in the kit...although, the kit does not contain an inventory list...call Bud (the guy answers his phone) and inventory the parts kit BEFORE you breakdown the bike...lesson learned...I was missing three parts, which I discovered after breaking down the bike. Bud shipped them...a week delay. If you have crash bars and lower fairings like I did...they are totally in the way, so that'll be a pain point. Removing the OEM oil filter adapter hex bolts - had to take-off the heat shield to get to the bolts. Bottom line, get a jack stand, inventory the parts w/Bud over the phone BEFORE you break down the bike, and be prepared to spend MORE than 90 minutes on the install. So far, glad I did it. Two-week update...no leaks...engine ran way, way cooler (Virginia July weather) on the local mainways...significantly less heat while waiting at traffic lights. Bud said it'd keep the oil about 20-30 degrees cooler...and I would have to agree. If your upgrading you're engine to high-output / high-performance...highly recommend protecting it from high temperature using the Oil bud kit and a Lenore cooling head fan, Mobil 1 V-twin syn oil. FYSA...the new Harley Syn Heavy 80W-140 gear oil in the primary and tranny works awesomely...finally, I can find Neutral without issue. Is the Oil Bud worth $700...Well, I'm glad I installed it on my 2012 FLHTK ugrade: HD SE Stage V kit (92500037A) w/259 cams, S&S cam plate and TC3 oil pump, 10-5-1 High-compression pistons, high capacity rollers tappets, high flow fuel injectors, 110 big bore cylinders, CNC ported heads/high-compression valves, SE rocker box / HL arms, SE compensator, 58mm throttle body, SE HF air intake, 53A regulator kit, Baker tensioner, SE clutch pack, new inner lefty bearing,complete tranny overhaul and upgrade new M8 transmission, Rockford Fosgate Stage III stereo w/400w amp, Ciro wireless phone charger, Oil Bud cooling system, Lenore head-cooling fan, and a great engine TUNE after break-in...and best of all...my wife didn't leave me after it was all done!
Thank you! I appreciate that. I try and keep it simple so anyone can follow. I will be adding more technical info as a few have suggested they would like that.
Watched your video prior to my purchase/install. Way less hassle on the install, excellent quality components & peace of mind as opposed to the other types out there including HD product. Only item i couldnt see was if the return line ran over the top or bottom of the front motor mount. I tried it both ways & chose over the top of it. Great video Gary & a great magician on a few of the fittings swapped out. No slight of hand there LOL !!! P.S., Your ex must be a gypsy with all those knives LOL !!
@@felixbenitez9701 No Felix also found the unwillingness from dealers to find the product. I do not trust the current situation with logistics to buy it from the states. I have moved to a full synthetic oio as eell ss upgrading the cam plate and oil pump which has reduced the engine temp by around 10°. Not quite the same but an improvement.
all you guys talking about rocks and jacking need to go to the website and look at the info. The guy hits it with a 5lb..hammer and shoots it with a shotgun no leaks! It mounts up inside the frame rails!
I've watched other videos from you, Gary. Good presentations. Question: How much extra oil does this cooler take to refill? The instructions probably say, but I'm just curious.
Hey Gary…really excellent videos thank for the superior content and Every Man delivery. Not sure if I missed it but did you ever indicate the name of this oil cooler as I didn’t catch it? Also does this manufacturer make one for a Dyna twin cam as well? Thanks again and be well! Mark G
@@LateNiteVTwin Thank you for sharing that info. Being a south easterner I'll not likely be near you soon, but others, over there, in person, surely will benefit from your operation!
It's an intriguing product. I'm curious though since I have a street glide, live in a city and only seem to get overly hot in traffic, does it have a sensor to start pumping like UltraCool does when the bike hits a certain temperature? If it's cool out and on highways the bike does not need to be cooled any more than it is and if it's cooled too much it's not good either. So having a sensor would be optimal I think.
There is a thermostat in the filter housing adapter, and it regulates the flow through the cooler. It's not just a throw a cooler in line type of product.......anytime you can drop oil temps in an air cooled engine, the better.
hey buddy, with the oil cooler add-on, does that add to the oil quantity required to keep up adequate oil pressure? more distance for the oil to travel...? thx
GREAT question! Yes it adds more capacity, and no, it does not require more pressure to push the oil through. Since Harley has a dry sump system, and this is basically in line to where the traditional cooler is routed, it has zero effect on the system to "try" and keep up or require a higher volume pump to make it work. That was a great question btw! Hope this answers your question.....
When you talk about spending some coin on that, how much are you talking about? Also, can you post the part number for that? I have not seen that listed on the Jagg website. Thx
Well Gary, I've got a 2014 Ultra Limited, Harley Davidson with 113,000 miles on it and runs like a champ. For those hot days, this looks like I could install on my bagger. Will it fit with a 5qt. high volume oil pan? The bike has engine guards and voltage regulator in the front. What do you think? Thanks for the great videos and instruction!!!
What a great video. This is the first one I watch and I wish there were more than what there is. I don't know If I could just get an answer, I have a 2017 Fat Boy S with the SE110. I'm from Mexico City and damn it runs hot. Do you think this would be a good choice for my engine? Thanks!
I have a 2001 heritage Softail classic from what you're saying that oil cooler would fit on mine as well correct? And what is the name and where would I get it, I'm in Ontario Canada thank you for your video and the way you described what you did.
Hey Gary, maybe we need to buy 2 of these coolers; one to mount on the bike and the other cooler to protect us from her shotgun blast when she gets so furious because she couldn't find the oil cooler she wanted to stab :)
Just what I want, my oil cooler under the bottom of my bike, what could possible go wrong there...? And you never get to drain that, I'll stick with my Jaggs cooler mounted to the front down tube which also allows the oil to drain from the bottom connections.
can you do an Upgrade Video on Twin Cam Timing Chain tensioners, gear drive aside, there's got to be something better than stock to fix this weak link in the drive train, they really do Suck,
So will this work on a twin cooled 15' Ultra Limited low?.......I ask cause it's got all sorts of stuff in the way that could prevent this oil cooler solution.
Only problem i see is if this rider wanted to run O2 sensors.. looks like that adaptor blocks the bungs.. unless it could be leaned forward enough.. really nice product though
I'm not saying anyone is steering anyone wrong. I prefer the Oil Bud for many reasons. I don't like my oil coolers mounted right behind the wheel, to many replaced due to damage from road debris. the other is that the upper frame mounted ones are not pleasing to the eye, and force hot air across the legs. I'm not endorsed by anyone here. I make these videos to help this community along. I film what I feel has worked for me and my customer base in the past, and feel I can share. If you like the Jagg product, by all means, any oil cooler is better than nothing.
i have a 08 Twin cam Ultra 96 Stage 1 in South Texas , How much more oil will this add overall and which brand of cooler was this ? Why did you choose this Brand ? Thnx in advance and lookin forward to more videos from you . .
Hi Eric! So, this is an OIL BUD oil cooler. Many reasons I go this route. One, it's hidden away under the frame away from road debris damage from the front wheel, two, you don't see an ugly cooler on the frame anywhere. three, it has 600 times the colony surface than a normal oil cooler. Capacity is double that in volume of a normal frame type cooler and that even helps because if you can have more oil that has been cooled, the engine will always run cooler. Oil Bud is out of Helena Montana. He sell his coolers directly from his web site.
There is Andrew.......had my now ex wife stick a knife in my oil cooler that was a vefrticle frame mounted unit. Jag oil cooler from back in the day! Yeah, i was knifed.......
Awesome product. But I have one question. Is it still possible to use wide band sensors with this adapter? It seems like there are not enough space between sensor bung and adapter.
@@bullast2046 Nope. But I was able to install this cooler on my RK2000 with a Samson True Dual and aftermarket wide band sensor. I can't say anything about other years and models :( Hope it helps you.
@@666SeeR999 I appreciate the response.. I’m leaning away from the Oil Bud cooler because it requires drilling through the frame.. thanks again.. peace
Hi Christopher! I never put oil oil in the filter, since they mount horizontally....I spin the motor with the coil disconnected so it won't run, prime it in that way. But good catch! The cooler takes about 1/2 an extra quart in the softail unit I installed, the one on my touring bike holds almost 3/4 more
Why ? Would you go through all that and not install an oil filter relocation kit 🤔 better yet. Even add a permanent oil filter. For better cooling and performance ?
