- 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.
I have a 2006 softail and this is the best oil cooling video I have ever seen for my bike.
Here is the brand of the "OilBud" system
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!
Yours are some of the most down to earth how to videos on TH-cam. Keep em coming!!
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.
Good stuff bro. It’s so relaxing and educational to watch you glide through these mods
Awesome, you have a great way of building confidence. Keep up the good work
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.
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.
Can’t get enough of your videos, man!!
Thanks! More to come stay tuned!
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
I had one of those on my 03 RG and put 100K miles on that motor. Really good product and well built
You're instructions are the best I've seen!
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 !!
Congrats on your first video! Nice job!
Thank you ! Look for more exciting videos coming up!
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
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.
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..
hell yea, keep it coming
I am glad to find you.
Thanks for stopping in and I hope this has helped out!
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?
keep making these videos! great stuff.
Enjoyed this video! Well done!
Thanks Jerry! We appreciate the views and hope it helped you!
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
Love this. Can you tell me what brand it is or the name of the manufacturer please?
Oil bud out of Montana
I GOT MY OIL COOLER FROM THE JUNKYARD. ALL THE OLDER FORD CARS HAVE A OIL COOLER FOR THE POWER STEERING
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!
Thanks for the comment. Finally found the product. Will be buying for a Rocker c
Will probably put one on my 99 FLHR this spring
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.
Think ya had a mean ass Xgf buddy. Lol
Awesome awesome video. Can't wait to see new ones
Awesome video - thank you for sharing! Liked and subscribed!! Just discovered your site!!
Slick and I don't mean oily..clean install.
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
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
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!
Thanx for sharing the video. Like to get one for my deuce
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!
Where you been?
Your videos are great 👍
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?
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.....
Great vids I'd like to see rocker box clearing for big cams thanks
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!
Nice video. Quick questions. Is it possible to clean oil cooler, once removed? If so, what would you use?
Fantastic videos!!!
Thanks Todd! We have fun doing these, and appreciate you stopping in!
Great vids!
Wondering if you could do one on servicing a springer front end?
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!!!
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
Forgot to ask cam swap on a late model twin cam Softail
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.
I got an oil cooler and fan and still get 316-339 riding my 107 and my 131
Nice work. I solved my over heating problem by trading for a liquid cooled Indian.
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!
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
Great video! Will it still fit with a crash bar? How about eith Khrome Werks exhausts, one of which runs underneath the bike? TIA!
Stupid Question, how do you jack up the bike if the cooler is on the bottom...Just want to know?
I wonder if this will fit a rocker c
How much more oil is needed in the reservoir now?
Top notch GREAT videos 👍
Thank you Glenn! And for stopping by!
what is the brand name of the oil cooler?
Hi Martin, the oil cooler is from Oil Bud. here is the link! www.harleyoilcoolers.com
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.
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.
Good video, you commented about bikes with ABS. Will this not fit a bike with ABS?
You didn't say who makes the oil cooler?
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.....
one good stone moveing at speed, next thing leaking oil cooler!!!!!!!!!! who in there right mind come up with fitting it under there, gezzzzzzz,
Great video, is there one available for 2019 water cooled ultra limited?
Thanks
Great video brother!!! Keep'em comin'!!
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.
As good as your videos are, The fact that you’ve only made 4 of them should be considered a federal crime
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
Can a lift jack still work on a road king with this underneath cooler. Tka
Great video
Thanks Daniel! I hope this helped you out??
Can you get them with the fans on them?
what is the difference between this and the cooling system on the limited?
I've got a 2016 FLHTK what oil cooler is this?
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,
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
How'd it go with the drilling part?
Hey who makes the oil cooler? 1:01
Does it have to be removed to get old oil out when performing an oil change?
Who makes the kit
are you telling Kevin Baxter steered me wrong? jaggs cooler is the only one he endorses.
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.
What brand is this oil cooler and will it work on my 2007 street glide fuel injected
Do they make a cooler for a 2020 triglide twin cooled
Great job l lake for my harley
Name of oil cooler not listed. Please send us a link.
What brand is that oil cooler can’t find it
Ad a flo oil filter and get another 10° drop
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.
Gary, where can I find this oil cooler?
Make a oil cooler a skid pan. You Gota be kidding !!
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 RATCHETING SCREW DRIVER?
what solutions are there for ABS equipped softails?
You mentioned sticking a knife in it a couple times...... is there a story behind this?
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.......
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
What is the brand name of the oil cooler
