"Hey just wanted to let you know that after 2 hours on a Dyno at RC Cycles of Hayward California (30 + years experience) the technician was amazed and stated that he never seen a Twin Cam run so cool... The oil temp never went over 210 and the average cylinder temp was around 240 to 260."

I put 17,000 miles on my bike without the oil bud and a little over 3,000 miles with the oilbud (Oil bud was on my bike all summer 2010). I am very adament about taking care of engines so I have watched my my oil temperatures since the bike was new. The first two summers would produce oil temps as high as 250 with one 260 reading. this would keep me awake at night. After a 50 plus mile ride in the summer I would never see oil temps below 220 and the 220 had to be late evening riding. Any day riding produced 240 minimum. POST OIL BUD: After riding 3000 plus miles this summer in temperatures ranging from 85 and below to plenty 95 - 103 day riding I can say the oil bud works for me. I have not seen any oil temperatures above 205 degrees this summer and that was a 55 mile ride at 75 mph down the interstate with an outside temperature of 105 in east texas. Most of my oil temp readings now are 200 and below. My legs may still get warm but they don't fry like eggs anymore. i dont think I'll ever see a 250 or 260 oil temp reading again. Certinaly the money I spent on the oil bud was definantly an investment not an expense."

"Put the oil bud on made 500 mile trip in 98 degree wheather never got over 205 Im riding a 04 Ultra We were running 80-85 miles an hour this thing works we would stop and it would take 50 to 60 miles to open the stermostat all the way back up best money Ive spent on my bike in a long time I would recomend this to any one who wants the motor to live with out it I would have been runnig 250 degrease."
