> Well Bud I told you that I would write you an e mail telling you how well or bad the Oil Bud performed on my FLHTCU. As you well know the dressers have a big problem with heat issues and my bike seemed to be one of the worst ones out there. I live in Nevada but my bike was a dealer trade from a dealer in California and with that came the EPA problems and heat. My first ride on my new bike was around Lake Tahoe on a spring day and naturally there was traffic. My bike didn’t like that at all and soon over heated and died on the side of the road. I can’t tell you how mad I was because this has never happened to me before on any of my Harleys.
> After sitting on the side of the road for over an hour my bike started back up and I drove it down to my selling dealer. I was told that this was normal and they could do a download that should help but not eliminate the problem. Well needless to say I walked out mad as ever. After many hours of reading on how to fix this problem by replacing the exhaust system and adding a tuner, I went with a ThunderMax auto tune and big sucker intake the bike did run better but was still very hot to ride on any warm day above 80 degrees.
> Flash forward three months and I decided I’d install an Ultracool because the heat was killing me. Even after spending thousands I was still running 280 degrees in the oil tank so you know the heads were hotter than that.
> So again after hours of reading I ordered the Ultracool oil cooler because I read a post about it and most agreed it was a good idea to ad an oil cooler and at that time I didn’t see anything about your product on any of the forms.
> One guy did buy your cooler and wrote about it on the form, he wrote that he had removed the Ultracool and installed your cooler in it’s place. He also said he was running much cooler. After I contacted him I decided that I was going to send back the Ultracool and purchase your cooler instead.
> Well after a few problems with the install I got it ready for a trial run up around the Lake so I could see for myself what it did for my bike. Well all I can say is there is a cure for the heat problems on full dressers with smog and it’s called an Oil Bud cooler. Since the install my bike has not once gone over 249 degrees in the same place that left it on the side of the road. What I saw was amazing my bike was running 50 degrees cooler than before while stuck in the same traffic. Normal ridding around the lake the bike never goes over 228 degrees 52 degrees cooler than before.
> So now you can say I told you so. Even though there isn’t that much information about your product on any of the forms I can honestly say your product change the way my bike runs and for that I can’t thank you enough.
