Bought this lockhart cooler model 420 from ebay. It was for a 1980-1990s sportster.

The oil cooler came with hose, hose clamps, and mounting clamps.

I ordered the thermostat oil adaptor and fake looking hose ends from Summit racing. I also ordered the 90 degree smooth flow but was forced to visit home depot for the other 90 bend. The plugs are too close together to allow both 90's to spin on. They would hit each other,. So I installed the low mount first and the taller mount second.

Bought some 1" heater hose to use as a buffer between the paint and clamps.

Cyclone, I don't have any data of before or after. Last month was a hot month and the bike would ping after long redlight. It's a bit cooler and I am now using 1gallon of 110octane alky per tank. So I can't compare.

another tip: you'll need the correct size socket to tighten the nut down. The cresent wrench turned sideways just don't cut it.
