- 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!
Dude you’re by far the most thorough mechanic and teacher I’ve ever saw in a video.
Why no more videos? You do a great job explaining how to get jobs done! You should keep it up!
very good instructions as its always better to upgrade first to prevent loosing thousands later on. will keep looking up your videos. thankyou.
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.
Thanks for dropping in! I'm 53, and the crew I ride with are all older than myself, two are in their 70's as well! Enjoy that 20 Fatboy!
Good stuff bro. It’s so relaxing and educational to watch you glide through these mods
You're instructions are the best I've seen!
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.
Yours are some of the most down to earth how to videos on UA-cam. Keep em coming!!
Awesome, you have a great way of building confidence. Keep up the good work
Can’t get enough of your videos, man!!
Thanks! More to come stay tuned!
Good job Gary, you make it look easy !
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.
Enjoyed this video! Well done!
Thanks Jerry! We appreciate the views and hope it helped you!
keep making these videos! great stuff.
Congrats on your first video! Nice job!
Thank you ! Look for more exciting videos coming up!
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.
Best looking cooler set up I've seen. The money saved from dumping the X (and her knife) will pay for it.
Love your video oil cooler. I have a 2008 softail springer screaming eagle.. Mine also got hot in Reno. Going to put one on..thax..
Fantastic videos!!!
Thanks Todd! We have fun doing these, and appreciate you stopping in!
I had one of those on my 03 RG and put 100K miles on that motor. Really good product and well built
I am glad to find you.
Thanks for stopping in and I hope this has helped out!
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 !!
hell yea, keep it coming
Think ya had a mean ass Xgf buddy. Lol
Awesome awesome video. Can't wait to see new ones
Will probably put one on my 99 FLHR this spring
Top notch GREAT videos 👍
Thank you Glenn! And for stopping by!
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
Awesome video - thank you for sharing! Liked and subscribed!! Just discovered your site!!
Nice Video Gary! Pleased make more Videos about Upgrades!
I think the wife used the knife on him In stead of the oil cooler . Or he's in jail idk
Great video
Thanks Daniel! I hope this helped you out??
Great video brother!!! Keep'em comin'!!
Great video, hope to see more from you. You seem to have some issues with the EX and her knife...:-)
YUP........That's why she's my EX! My Harley stands beside me ALWAYS
Gr8 video. That is a sweet product totally hidden.
Thanks Tor! It's the best oil cooler that I have ever used or even seen!
Thanx for sharing the video. Like to get one for my deuce
I GOT MY OIL COOLER FROM THE JUNKYARD. ALL THE OLDER FORD CARS HAVE A OIL COOLER FOR THE POWER STEERING
Slick and I don't mean oily..clean install.
Where you been?
Your videos are great 👍
Great vids I'd like to see rocker box clearing for big cams thanks
Great vids!
Wondering if you could do one on servicing a springer front end?
Dude we need more no BS videos. Where ya been?
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!
Hello Gary, great educational videos, what is the brand of the oil cooler for the softails?
Did you ever find out what brand this cooler is?
@@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.
@@alexallchurch4350 out of curiosity, are you referring to 10* temp drop in Celsius or Fahrenheit?
Your videos are very enjoyable and informative! I wish I could see where you're running your repair business. (At least which state you're in.)
I have a little one man shop in Northern California, about 140 miles north of Sacramento.
@@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!
Subbed!!!
Nice video. Quick questions. Is it possible to clean oil cooler, once removed? If so, what would you use?
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.
probably around the 3-400ml
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!
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!
Love this. Can you tell me what brand it is or the name of the manufacturer please?
Oil bud out of Montana
Can you share a link where we can buy the cooler or provide the company name?
Right I don't hear him mention the name.
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.
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!!!
Great video! Will it still fit with a crash bar? How about eith Khrome Werks exhausts, one of which runs underneath the bike? TIA!
Great video, is there one available for 2019 water cooled ultra limited?
Thanks
Great job l lake for my harley
what is the difference between this and the cooling system on the limited?
Forgot to ask cam swap on a late model twin cam Softail
Good video, you commented about bikes with ABS. Will this not fit a bike with ABS?
I got an oil cooler and fan and still get 316-339 riding my 107 and my 131
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.....
Does it have to be removed to get old oil out when performing an oil change?
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.
@Late Nite V Twin what kind is it? Brand please?
@@gaknskk did you ever find the product name/ description?
Can you get them with the fans on them?
What brand is this oil cooler and will it work on my 2007 street glide fuel injected
do you need extra oil to compensate for oil cooler ?
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
Did you ever get an answer to your inquiry?
@@bullast2046no
It’s called OilBud.. they are pricey
what solutions are there for ABS equipped softails?
Do they make a cooler for a 2020 triglide twin cooled
I was looking at an ultra cool for my 05 FXSTDI, how does that work with stop an go or heavy traffic mounted like that.....
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.
What’s the brand part information, maybe you have it listed and I don’t see it. Great video,but I need the stats please.
Can a lift jack still work on a road king with this underneath cooler. Tka
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 :)
NO KIDDING! Oil bud makes the best stuff! HAHAHAHAHAHAH
How'd it go with the drilling part?
Who makes this product and will it work on a street glide. Thanks great vid.
As far as I can tell it’s called oilbud
I've got a 2016 FLHTK what oil cooler is this?
Hey forgot to put a lil oil in that filter , and put a film of oil around that filter seal . But awesome iNstall how much more oil did you get to add?
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
@@LateNiteVTwin thanx for the heads up on the extra oil add...
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
And the first speed bump?
What Oil Cooler kit did you install? Where can I buy one.
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.
Where do I get one for my ride
What brand of oil cooler did you install? I like the bottom mounting.
It's an oil bud cooler
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.
Did you ever get an answer to your question? Cause I have the very same question
@@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
What brand is that oil cooler can’t find it
Gary, where can I find this oil cooler?
Name of oil cooler not listed. Please send us a link.
Nice work. I solved my over heating problem by trading for a liquid cooled Indian.
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,
How do you like this oil cooler on your bike ?
Looking at a oil bud or a ultra cool. In the fence so just researching both the best I can. Oil bud is $700 ish can’t really see it / ultra cool $500 ish installs between down tubes in frame above or below regulator.
Hi James, I'm a big OIL BUD fan. I have used every oil cooler under the sun in my repairs and upgrades, personally and for customers. I have to say, my 117" twin cam has never run cooler. I like the fact it's under the chassis, not behind the fender. I have a few dyno shops/ engine builders locally and they swear by them. Let me know what way you go, and how it works for you
Do they have this for Dyna's?
What brand of oil cooler is it
Stupid Question, how do you jack up the bike if the cooler is on the bottom...Just want to know?
You didn't say who makes the oil cooler?
What brand of oil cooler?
I have an '09 FLSTC with those engine guards installed that you said were not going to go on that particular soft tail. Is this "cooler" still able to be properly "fitted" to function as intended along with these engine guards?
Yes, the engine guard will work along with the cooler we installed. no problem!
@@LateNiteVTwin I was thinking that it might take up inserting a spacer (washer) or 2. But, when you said the bike you were installing this cooler on wasn't installing, or EVER installing an engine guard? Kind of sounded like an ultomato! LOL! Thanks for the clarification!
@@AmosBHaven Oh boy, I'm sorry it came across that way.......My customer just doesn't like an engine guard I guess. The oil cooler is designed to fit with or without. The only thing that will impede install for you is a bike with ABS. The brake lines are in the way from the rear master cylinder.
@@LateNiteVTwin I'm trying to keep wrapping my head around, my head around, how such an "iconic" motorcycle with such an enormous price tag, (in which it seems these after market companies are taking their "cue" from as well) one can spend almost, in some cases, more money on parts, labor etc. trying to KEEP these motors from "self destructing." Maybe they shoulda just stuck with the "45", eh? LOL! I "subbed" yer channel! Great info! Especially for "this" first time owner.
With the cooler sitting lower than the drain pan, is there a way to extract ALL the oil out of the cooler when changing the oil? I didn't notice a drain plug on the cooler, or am I not seeing it, or?
Hi John, I usually just remove the front line where it goes into the cooler and drain it. There is plenty of room to get to the drain plugs.
@@LateNiteVTwin Thank you
What is the brand name of the oil cooler
which brand is that cooler?
How makes this Cooler ?
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.
