oil coole

Cool!!, but that's alotta$ & is really for a strickly race motor. For street riding it would take forever to warm the oil & could ultimately be detrimental.
That fistfull of $ could go pretty far buying essential parts & services that can improve the ride qualities of your bike (tires, suspension, alloy rims , hub turning & shoe matching).
Serious bling!

Yeah, I love that it fits into the starter space, but I am not laying out that much unless someone tells me it will really change the bike's performance.

It should make the engine last longer and hold its performance when used really hard. In normal riding it will not be noticeable other than increasing the bike's 'coolness' factor when parked.
