I thought about installing a Jagg oil bypass, but my hose lines are too short to accommodate one of these units.

If you don't ride below freezing, I can't see that a cooler bypass would be necessary. Automatic transmissions have an automatic bypass valve for that purpose, but it doesn't activate until it's really cold out.

As always, thank you for the excellent advice, Weld.

I don't have room to install the oil bypass, and I didn't want to spend the extra money any way. I feel better omitting the oil bypass based upon your reply.
