Martin,

To piggyback on what thumperclone said, most (all?) big air cooled bikes are known sludge machines in summer riding conditions.  An oil cooler will prevent/reduce the oil turning to sludge and cause it to retain its lubricating qualities for a much longer period of time...

And yes, I'm a tinkerer Grin

Not yet, I was doing some "experimenting" over the weekend, but I'm still waiting on my frame rail cooler to arrive Sad  
I was testing to see whether I'd have to install a shut-off to keep the oil in the cooler from running back into the sump.  I've decided to skip the ballvalve install to keep the connections to a minimum.
I'll have my wife take pictures when the time comes and have her post them for me... Embarrassed
