That's over 400F! Are you sure your gauge is in "C" for Celsius/Centrigrade? Without an external oil cooler, my 84 Wasser Westy is doing around 190-205F and that's being loaded down with display cases, parts, etc., itsa automatic and I do around 70-75mph on the flat. Now if I was towing something, I'd think of *maybe* installing a cooler. Even though itsa 2.1 engine, I don't have the factory cooler on it because I'm still using the 1.9 pipe/hose arrangement, no place to tap off for it.
