How To Install an Oil Cooler on a Harley Davidson Electraglide or Street Glide

[@whatsstefon]

Definitely a wise mod, as Romi said with out Aussie conditions in addition to the lean burning nature of modern engines thanks to emission regulations, which are arguably a good thing for the environment, but bad for air cooled bikes, it makes it a good idea.

[@TheHarleyRoadshow]

Thanks mate yea especially if you’ve had a few engine mods done and ride in traffic or in a hot area

[@whatsstefon]

@@TheHarleyRoadshow absolutely vital in that situation.

[@KODEGREY]

Nice bit of kit!! Your mechanic knows what he's doing too!!

[@TheHarleyRoadshow]

Thanks mate, yes he does

[@RoadsOfOz]

I am with you. My bike is ridden and not hidden. That looks like such a sensible modification and makes sense being in our climate.

[@TheHarleyRoadshow]

Thanks mate, been warm where I’m riding at the moment and has made a big difference already

[@KrakensGarageandAdventures]

Romi is the man! I sure wish I had a tech to take my bikes to like Romi. Great mods for the temps you rides in and the design with the magnet is on point. Eric

[@ChopperFett]

On these air cooled motors, anything you can do to decrease temps in the heat of summer is a good mod. Nice video as always man, love the shop videos!

[@TheHarleyRoadshow]

Thanks mate

[@Peteslife]

You should go up to Corryong. There is some awesome riding up there. I found y some great roads up there this week. And new roads to explore next trip like the alpine road to Jindabyne etc. this week I did the great river road. Lots of sculptures and scenic spots to stop and look at.

Sounds awesome

Hi mate, Good vid as always, love builds etc with Romi. Off topic but have you done the breather mod? I would be very interested to know what an expert like Romi thinks about the topic?

[@TheHarleyRoadshow]

Thanks mate, do you mean heavy breather?

[@andrewslim4725]

Sorry mate, no I am referring to the breather blow by mod to prevent excess oil being vented through the breather tubes into the throttle body and back into the engine?

[@TheHarleyRoadshow]

@@andrewslim4725 no mate I haven’t done that mod, I’ll ask Romi about it and get back to you

Do you need to add extra oil to compensate for the extra volume in the lines now?

[@TheHarleyRoadshow]

No, still the same

Do you have a video for installation or oil cooler for a 2017 HD HERITAGE?

[@TheHarleyRoadshow]

Sorry mate no I don’t

[@jerrycagle7565]

Great video what's the name of the oil cooler.

[@TheHarleyRoadshow]

Ultra cool

[@richardmoorer2668]

The Ultra Cool is about $500 in the states

[@TheHarleyRoadshow]

Yeah here with our dollar it’s about $700 so about the same price in reality

[@petertaylor250]

How long was the install time for the kit and the wiring? I'll be getting one soon.

[@TheHarleyRoadshow]

About an hour and a half but we were filming and talking as well

@@Rider_2013_ you’re welcome mate, if you’re doing that then I’d recommend putting in an oil cooler

It flows better, definitely doesn’t filter better. Ryan FortNine tested all forms and this mesh was the worst.

I don’t think it’s meant to filter better it’s meant to cool the engine which it does really well from what I found, thanks for watching

[@freebehindbars8654]

@@TheHarleyRoadshow I don’t think I’d sacrifice the intent of the part for something that can be gained elsewhere. That’s just my opinion. A raised tank, love jugs type fans, fan assisted oil cooler.. plenty of purpose built parts for cooling.

[@22Royston]

Mate, you should title these vids with “lets see how much money can this mechanic mug us off for”……..eg= How many HD oil filters can I buy for that billet one? Even if only 10 thats around 50 k miles until it recovers its cost, secondly you have magnet in your sump, another is wholly unnecessary and possibly wouldn’t work, (are you familiar with the pressure that oil passes through that filter? Oil cooler is a decent idea but from memory all the M8s have an oil cooler, oh and HD do a nice little fan you can install directly behind it…….

That’s a twin cam motor we’re working on not an m8 but thanks for your input

[@timphillips8966]

Pro tip... when filming the work being done FILM THE WORK BEING DONE! We don't need to see the mechanic's face while he's doing the job. It would be nice to actually see what he's doing! Capiche? The electrical hookup under the seat was rich with knowledge (maybe the most important part of the install) but we'll never know because you filmed the mechanic's mug instead of what he was doing. Carry on...

[@TheHarleyRoadshow]

Actually the hook up was the easiest part of the install and there are very clear instructions in the kit on how to do it, thanks for watching appreciate the input

[@Heavy69Metal]

What type of temp drops have you gotten in real life riding

[@TheHarleyRoadshow]

It’s not that you get temp drops but it prevents it from getting hot by the thermo fan kicking in as soon as the oil starts to heat up, it keeps the oil in the temperature range that is needed to keep the oil properties from breaking down, we ride in some pretty extreme conditions and the bike has performed perfectly, no more worrying about getting caught in traffic on hot days, this system is recommended if your engine has been modified, if it is stock it should be fine without it, thanks for watching

[@Heavy69Metal]

What is the temp of the engine as well as head temp running one of these along with stock harley oil cooler with fan on a M8 road glide special?

[@TheHarleyRoadshow]

Hi mate not sure on the m8, this one is a twin cam, but it works the same as your thermo fan on a car, when the temp hits 100deg it kicks in and cools the engine down, I’m pretty sure the m8 engine if it has an oil cooler already should be ok, these are another level of protection especially if you’ve done some performance engine mods, thanks for watching

[@Heavy69Metal]

The bolt for the oil filter that fitting you take off to put the new one in is it counter clockwise tight clockwise loose to take off?

[@TheHarleyRoadshow]

Sorry mate, I did that video a while ago and I honestly can’t remember
