UltraCool Oil Cooler now installed on 09 Tri-Glide

[PopDukes]

Hi Gang,<br />
<br />
Got the UltraCool unit installed yesterday by my dealer. Sadly, I do not have the resources or location to do on my own.<br />
<br />
The dealer rode for about 30 minutes and said it did not go over 180 degrees. When I rode a small bit yesterday I did get it up to about 190 degrees. But, today was the real test. Just finished sitting in the wonderful LA traffic for almost two hours (Avg 75 degrees outside). The oil temp did not go over 230 degrees. This is a 15 degree drop from my last test justing changing to the Redline 20-60, which maxed at 245 degrees in 68 degree weather.<br />
<br />
It dos appear that the UltraColl unit has done what I expected and bit better. I figured 10 degrees would be acceptable.<br />
<br />
I will try and take some photos this week before I travel on business. When I picked my bike up, the service folks were gone so I did not get to ask if they had any difficulties. Appears not! Did provide a T connector for the oil temp gauge I put in the fairing.

So we did not have to bore another whole!<br />
<br />
Looks good and sits low. Vegas in few couple of weeks will be the real test!<br />
<br />
By the way, on my way home today as traffic finally opened up my damn AC cover fell off at 70 MPH. Luckily my leg saved it and I was able to hold it with my thigh until I pulled over. First I'm thinking the screw loosened and fell out. To my surprise it was actually the small round threaded plate that holds the AC cover screw on the K&N had actually broken off. Anyone had this experience? The K&N is only one week old! (Stage 1 system)

Thanks for the report on the UltraCool. Keep us updated un it. Courious on the long term holding up. Is it automatic turn on at a certain temp?

 

[PopDukes]

Runs full time as long as ignition is on. Does vary rotation based on temp! Do not have that spec for you though!

Thanks for the info.

Finally took a couple of photos.<br />

Amazed so far. Since changing to the Redline 20/60 and the UltraCooler, have not reached over 235/240 degrees on the oil temp. Even in 85+ degree outside temps. Continuing to take 30-45 minutes of ride to reach 180/190.<br />
<br />
External heat still burning the ol Legs/thighs,<br />
<br />
Friday the real test. Vegas! Expected outside temps around 81 degrees. Should have a few hours i the desert to see how it will really perform.<br />
<br />
Also, today installed the SuperTuner. HD had me set it up to their so called Police bike setup. Low end is running better than ever. On a short ride on the freeway, I did notice an issue in getting the TG over 75MPH on flat roads????? Again, I'll see how the Vegas run goes.

Sure wish I had a Dyno reasonably near me. :-(

PopDukes. You are saying you can not get over 75 mph on a flat road? If that is so there is something greatly wrong. My HD 07 with a Champion conversion did a little over a 100 where I quite because it was fast enough given the road I was on. It had some left in it for sure.

The speed issue was actually just this old man's lack of brain cells. MY BAD!!!!
