I've been wondering. What with the small oil bag on the Cyclone and no oil cooler....has anybody ever thought of putting a machined aluminum spacer between the oil filter and the filter mount? By the size of the filter I'm running it looks like a 4-6 inch ribbed spacer would add capacity and cooling. Flame away.

American Sport Bike sells something like what you are talking about.

How about just installing an oil cooler? More oil capacity, installs quick and easy, looks kool!

Wow. #1, I'm way off with my guess of 4-6 inches. I went out back and measured after I posted, 3.5 in. max.
#2, that's so cool (no pun intended) that somebody already makes it
#3, have been contemplating an oil cooler for a while

Thanks guys

I installed mine when I rebuilt the motor a couple of months ago. These oil coolers are obsolete, but they can be found with some looking. Its a 2003 and earlier Sportster oil cooler. Bolts right on, no issues at all.

Obsolete? That's a bummer. Anybody have any first hand experience with other coolers?

Ok this is a little off topic, but in picture #1 as your looking at the V&H can and system, see the pipe that goes from the end of the header and curves around to slip into the can? Where can I find a replacement? I know its V&H but its post production, ie. discontinued, for the up to 98 models, which mine happens to be a 98 M2. Any ideas ?
