$150.00 bucks for a piece of screen?

[Old Road Dog]

No thanks H.D. So I wanted to cover my oilcooler because my luck sucks and it'll be just a matter of time before something hits it.So I had some old fireplace screen laying around and I cut and bent it to fit inside the plastic cooler cover and used 2 part epoxy to hold it.Works and the price was right.I don't think a direct hit with a 2 inch rock will even put much of a dent in it.

You just voided your warranty by useing an Un- authorized screen

I did the same with some outdoor grill materia

I cut it and notched it so no glue is needed

Uh-oh.Maybe I should get the SE tuner so its 50 state compliant so it will be set to the factory lean condition.

Hey Jack just curious nothing more than that but !. Have you ever taken The oil temperature before you put on the screen and then Taken it after you put the screen on! Me Being an old woodsman I found if you put a screen in front of a fireplace it will trap the heat in the fireplace just wondering if a screen will trap the heat in the oil cooler And in turn cause the engine to run hotter Just something to think about

Yup, it did not change any

I was surprised it still flows that much air, tho it does have a fan on it also

Unknown, mine is oil cooled not twin cooled

The fan comes on @195 degrees and stays on

I also run Mighty Mites on the heads

If the mesh cover leads to overheating then H.D. wouldn't sell their overpriced version-at least I would think.
