Thinking about installing the oem big dog oil cooler. Would like to see how it looks compared to the single one . Does anyone have a dual cooler installed and can send me a picture of it? Thx. Don

These coolers were on the bike when purchased. I doubt that many actually need an oil cooler. My understanding is that the oil functions best between 180-220 degrees. It is not true that the cooler the oil, the better. Also, oil coolers don’t do you any good in traffic because you’re not moving. I had some covers made and keep these under wraps from sometime in Sept until May or June (I live near Joplin MO.) In S Florida, maybe it would help. My bike also has a Big Dog temp gauge for the oil filler cap, which is handy to check oil temp. https://www.bigdogpartskingpin.com/...e-gauge-2008-2011-pitbull-2005-2011-ridgeback590D237A-EAA9-4028-9306-66C65BE7B839.jpeg

Thanks Mick—The open primary was really an eye catcher but the clutch basket was made of aluminum and I couldn’t keep it from getting grooves in it which made the clutch plates snag and drag my ass out into intersections and stuff like that. After two expensive replacements I gave up and sold it.
