Oil cooler/engine temp ?

Hi, have a "07 Nomad. Put H-Charger, FI2000R and V&H duals on in Jan, Minor performance improvement, no MPG impact, ran cooler and sounded great. Wife hated sound (long story) so pipes are off & for sale. Silencer out of stock pipes, everything else on bike right, run syn oil and so on.
Really hate extra heat and how ofter blower comes on. Too much like the old Goldwing. Motor has a wet sump so no external oil lines to splice a oil cooler into. Anyone ever added a oil cooler or other engine heat reducers to a 1600 Nomad??

What Doc said, except I'm in AZ. Really cooled things down. Stopped pinging, too.
