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.
