I have a ERA too (#446) and it has a clear plexi plate in front of the cooler so no air flows through it. It looks 'factory' but one of the previous owners could have installed it.
I know from experience with motorcycles that the 'rule of thumb' is, if YOU need a jacket, the oil cooler needs a jacket. If you DON'T need a jacket, the oil cooler doesn't either.
So on the hot summer days we have here in CO, I plan to remove the shield. It has 4 small velcro pads on the corners of it so it appears to be made to be easily removed.
