- In this episode we install an Ultracool oil cooler on my Harley Davidson Electraglide Ultra Classic to keep the engine from overheating and damaging the engine, on performance engines these are highly recommended, the cost to supply and install one of these on your pride and joy is approximately $1100.00. If you wish to discuss this with Romi from GRM performance please feel free to call on (03) 97490884

Nice bit of kit!! Your mechanic knows what he's doing too!!
Thanks mate, yes he does
Definitely a wise mod, as Romi said with out Aussie conditions in addition to the lean burning nature of modern engines thanks to emission regulations, which are arguably a good thing for the environment, but bad for air cooled bikes, it makes it a good idea.
Thanks mate yea especially if you’ve had a few engine mods done and ride in traffic or in a hot area
@@TheHarleyRoadshow absolutely vital in that situation.
Romi is the man! I sure wish I had a tech to take my bikes to like Romi. Great mods for the temps you rides in and the design with the magnet is on point. Eric
I am with you. My bike is ridden and not hidden.
That looks like such a sensible modification and makes sense being in our climate.
Thanks mate, been warm where I’m riding at the moment and has made a big difference already
You should go up to Corryong. There is some awesome riding up there. I found y some great roads up there this week. And new roads to explore next trip like the alpine road to Jindabyne etc.
this week I did the great river road. Lots of sculptures and scenic spots to stop and look at.
Sounds awesome
On these air cooled motors, anything you can do to decrease temps in the heat of summer is a good mod. Nice video as always man, love the shop videos!
Thanks mate
Me likey. Will give GRM a call & get a kit sent up for the Road King. Great vid mate. 👍
Cheers mate thanks
The Master at work. Genius.
Thanks mate, I can’t take all the credit, Romi’s pretty good too 😂😂
@@TheHarleyRoadshow Awwww he tries to help a bit.
Ooohhhh very interesting Mr POVH!!!
I got off my girl the other week after wearing sneakers and the whole inner part of my calf is burnt from the heat from the engine!
Romi is so clever!!!
Well I’ve been on it all day today and it worked a treat
@@TheHarleyRoadshow that’s bloody awesome!! Glad the back is feeling better as well x

@@TheHarleyRoadshow ahhhh awesome can’t wait to see the footage!
@@Zulu_117_ST chris from the barbering biker is here as well
Hi mate,
Good vid as always, love builds etc with Romi.
Off topic but have you done the breather mod? I would be very interested to know what an expert like Romi thinks about the topic?
Thanks mate, do you mean heavy breather?
Sorry mate, no I am referring to the breather blow by mod to prevent excess oil being vented through the breather tubes into the throttle body and back into the engine?
@@andrewslim4725 no mate I haven’t done that mod, I’ll ask Romi about it and get back to you
This is worth looking into, thanks for sharing mate. ✌️
Thanks mate
Gees they get grubby under there! Great vid and educational too!
Thanks mate and still looks the same under there 🤣🤣🤣
Love- Jugs are a good addition too
Looks like it’s always been there, time to clean under the seat 😂😀🍺
Lucky he didn’t check my jocks 🤣🤣
Awesome kit and neat job 👌🏻
Good to see you getting your hands dirty again working on the bike Paul…..🤣😂🤣
Like a surgeon mate
How long was the install time for the kit and the wiring? I'll be getting one soon.
About an hour and a half but we were filming and talking as well
Thanks for the reply.😁👍
Your bike looks exactly like my bike, so you obviously have good taste.
Lol, must’ve, thanks for watching
Great video what's the name of the oil cooler.
Ultra cool
Is the oil filtered before or after going through the cooler?
Pretty sure it gets filtered afterwards
The Ultra Cool is about $500 in the states
Yeah here with our dollar it’s about $700 so about the same price in reality
Do you have a video for installation or oil cooler for a 2017 HD HERITAGE?
Sorry mate no I don’t
Now that its been on the bike for a while, how do you like it?
They are a good thing, unfortunately I don’t have that bike anymore as we got hit by a car and the bike was written off
@@TheHarleyRoadshow I did see the video of your accident. Glad your wife and you have made a good recovery. Im building a 110 and shooting for 120hp+ and was looking into the Ultracool set up. Your video was very informative. Thank you!
@@Rider_2013_ you’re welcome mate, if you’re doing that then I’d recommend putting in an oil cooler
Hello there
Can have a suggestions for the best oil cooler for no ABS 2012 Harley softail deluxe?
Thanks in advance
If possible horizontal fit
I have only used Ultra cool oil coolers so for me they would be the way to go, there’s a unit for that model
Do you know part number which fits my model?
@@MS-em5rf no mate you’d need to contact ultracool direct
@@TheHarleyRoadshow thanks a lot boss 🌺
@@MS-em5rf No worries sorry I couldn’t be more help
What is the name of that new oil filter,,,, please ?
It’s buy a company called Flo, www.ebay.com.au/itm/281105152248?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=705-154756-20017-0&ssspo=E0HMGBuhSru&sssrc=2349624&ssuid=&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY
Thank you… 😎
It's cool but nearly 1/3 to 2/3rds of the cooler has the front wheel and mudguard blocking the direct air flow.
@@cj8172 it works on a fan
Is that a 96 engine?
Yes mate
good vid. but the most important part of the install is the fitting of the adaptor. but wasn't shown. shame
It flows better, definitely doesn’t filter better. Ryan FortNine tested all forms and this mesh was the worst.
I don’t think it’s meant to filter better it’s meant to cool the engine which it does really well from what I found, thanks for watching
@@TheHarleyRoadshow I don’t think I’d sacrifice the intent of the part for something that can be gained elsewhere. That’s just my opinion. A raised tank, love jugs type fans, fan assisted oil cooler.. plenty of purpose built parts for cooling.
Are you talking about the oil filter he mentioned?
Can anyone recommend anyone in NSW to do this work? Thanks
Where abouts are you mate?
Lithgow, just outside of Sydney. Thanks
@@hendo7535 sorry mate I don’t know anyone in that area
👍✌
Why not show of to remove a factory oil cooler?
It didn’t have a factory oil cooler on it
@@TheHarleyRoadshow dang! I'm trying to find a video on how to remove the factory oil cooler. If you find one and remember please link me!
@@LushikuteZikatojirik will do
Mate, you should title these vids with “lets see how much money can this mechanic mug us off for”……..eg= How many HD oil filters can I buy for that billet one? Even if only 10 thats around 50 k miles until it recovers its cost, secondly you have magnet in your sump, another is wholly unnecessary and possibly wouldn’t work, (are you familiar with the pressure that oil passes through that filter? Oil cooler is a decent idea but from memory all the M8s have an oil cooler, oh and HD do a nice little fan you can install directly behind it…….
That’s a twin cam motor we’re working on not an m8 but thanks for your input
🤙👍💯
Thanks mate
@@TheHarleyRoadshow you’re welcome brother you’re on another level 💯
@@RidingHumboldtCounty thanks mate I really appreciate it
I’m half smart I think I can handle this lol
You’ll be right mate
Lol thanks
The reason you only have 2k subscribers is you don't speak to the US. Need to talk in F° and US $ as well.
No they need to speak in Celsius and Aussie dollars, time to get with the program ffs 🤣🤣
@@TheHarleyRoadshow there are no Harleys anywhere but the US
@@bobbonacorsi2979 hahahaha that seems to be the general consensus 😂
Pro tip... when filming the work being done FILM THE WORK BEING DONE! We don't need to see the mechanic's face while he's doing the job. It would be nice to actually see what he's doing! Capiche? The electrical hookup under the seat was rich with knowledge (maybe the most important part of the install) but we'll never know because you filmed the mechanic's mug instead of what he was doing.
Carry on...
Actually the hook up was the easiest part of the install and there are very clear instructions in the kit on how to do it, thanks for watching appreciate the input
@@TheHarleyRoadshow It probably was, for someone that understands electrical. I'm an electrical idiot! So seeing the entire process is helpful. Don't get me wrong, I enjoy your content. Just giving some input for consideration. Treat it like vitamins, take in what ya need and piss out the rest...
@@timphillips8966 nah all good mate I took it the right way
The wrench seems to know what he’s doing, IDK, cameraman wanted the be a comedian and focus on himself instead of actually explaining what is being wired to what..
Come on, if you’re going to I do a vid , EXPLAIN it, and dumb it down for us non-wrenches
@@markduclos6051 the kit comes with instructions mate, or you’d like me to read them to you?
What is the temp of the engine as well as head temp running one of these along with stock harley oil cooler with fan on a M8 road glide special?
Hi mate not sure on the m8, this one is a twin cam, but it works the same as your thermo fan on a car, when the temp hits 100deg it kicks in and cools the engine down, I’m pretty sure the m8 engine if it has an oil cooler already should be ok, these are another level of protection especially if you’ve done some performance engine mods, thanks for watching
What type of temp drops have you gotten in real life riding
It’s not that you get temp drops but it prevents it from getting hot by the thermo fan kicking in as soon as the oil starts to heat up, it keeps the oil in the temperature range that is needed to keep the oil properties from breaking down, we ride in some pretty extreme conditions and the bike has performed perfectly, no more worrying about getting caught in traffic on hot days, this system is recommended if your engine has been modified, if it is stock it should be fine without it, thanks for watching
The bolt for the oil filter that fitting you take off to put the new one in is it counter clockwise tight clockwise loose to take off?
Sorry mate, I did that video a while ago and I honestly can’t remember
