Did I drink the Koolaid on oil coolers?

Too late now, its installed

not going to take it off now. Might have to put a shield on it for winter, but I am still concerned about running at 180-185

You're good on temps. The plate is open about 10% when cold. As mention. So it doesn't shock the system with a rush of cold and hot oil when the plate starts to open. I have a 34 row Z1 cooler. My temps are about 180 on a 75deg day cruising at 60 mph. On the Dragon this year. The temps were about mid 70's. I got my temps up over 200 deg. When I track, I see temps around 230~240. In the winter time. I put a couple of pieces of duct tape across the cooler.

101 degrees here in Portland today. Went for a decent cruise, temp never went past 195.

Thanks to Z1 and Setrab. Happy ending!

Portland, as in Oregon? You don't need an oil cooler. I live in So Cal and have had no issues.

Just place a "partial" shield and problem solved.. I used an aluminum sheet (cut to size) with industrial grade Velcro strips.

Oil cooler is a smart investment.
