The Dealers just don't get it. They don't want to admit that they Duno Nothing. They won't put on PT tires, or do anything with a sidecar on it.
H-D Part 62868-99 will fit, but be sure that the thermostat is not under the frame, seen one broke off, what a mess, might need longer hoses. Better yet, Mount one of those Fan Kits Part 91550-00, if you are concerned about heat, and forget about the Oil Cooler. On my '88 FLHTC I had a 1970 Mercedes Benz Oil Cooler mounted on the front cross member of the H-D Hack, worked the nuts.
Good Luck

I must be one of the lucky few - my dealer just moved to a new facility and made a point of putting in a sidecar capable lift! I went in for their grand opening last week and the service guy took me out to see it - said it was "for you sidecar guys!" with a big grin!!!
Of course they are the same guys who put the PT tires on for me also.
Hmmmm, better make that 2 dozen donuts next time I have them work on something - looks like I have good deal.

What sort of lift did the dealership use? I mean, what brand?
Thanks,

I've used lockhart in the past no issues here.
Iam sure that there are multiple units available, & you have a good start with all the info posted above.

Looks like the same lift that pokes up out of the floor throughout the rest of the service bay area but with some custom fabricated "wings".
Really beautiful set-up, you could eat off the floor of this place!

The dealer that I go to installs the PT tires the guys in the shop just don't look forward to installing them.Bring doughnuts like Dean has suggested,I am going to when they take this one off and install the next one. The Lockhart Coolers should work fine and may be a few bucks cheaper,the HD coolers are suppost to mix the oil by splitting the flow and bringing the hotter oil in the center to the outer sides of the cooler with what they call a turbolater system this they claim cools the oil more evenly rather than just the outer sides of the oil flow like the other coolers.

I can't comment on H-Ds inability to come up with a decent oil coolers assy and mounting location for a side car but as posted previously an auxillary fan will aid in cooling the jugs.

As for the oil cooler, Look for alternative mounting locations that are not likely to get stepped upon or catch road debris. Then visit a hydralic hose assembler for longer hoses to tie in your choice of cooler. It may take 3 to 6 feet of hoses to relocate the cooler.

Some rigs have significant road clearance and can accomadate mounting the cooler below the sidecar. But keep in mind that the longer hoses mandate remeasuring the rate of flow in the lines it can also adversely impact the pressure of delivery as well. Adjusting the volume of oil in your system and protecting the cooler and lines from human and animals become critical as well.

H-D like many other makes of bikes do not consider relocation of components or how oil flow becomes affected by additions You may need to talk to a technician to see if the oil pump can be adjusted to accomodate the increase of pressures that may be needed.

I mounted a Sportster oil cooler on the left downtube of my '03 Ultra

I used the H-D oil cooler part #62868-99A, but had to modify it to fit around the voltage regulator and mount above it rather than under it as originally designed. It took some hack sawing and grinding, but it took less than an hour or so doing it. I also used the "under bike" thermostat without any problem. Just be sure to zip tie the oil lines as tight to the bike frame as you can and push them between the frame and the crankcase. Harley now has the "newer" oil cooler kits for the touring bikes, but you definitely can't use that one. It comes with the thermostat as an integral part of an extention to the oil filter mount. It is real slick and eliminates the under bike oil lines. However, the only problem is you can't get your oil filter on or off without disconnecting the lower front hack mounts and prying them out of the way. If you had to have a dealer do an oil/filter change, it would cost you a couple of hundred dollars in labor. It is also no fun to do it yourself either. Good luck.

I'm sure there are more units available, and you have a good start with all the information published.
