I must be honest and say I find too much speed actually scary. I've hit 120km/hr and that is more than fast enough for me. On the highway I stick to 100-110 km/hr. Anything else is asking for trouble if you want my humble opinion....so the point is moot.

Here is my idea for a remote oil filter hookup, been working on it for a couple of days and think this will work. Take a round chunk of aluminium or brass a little smaller in diameter than the stock oil filter and turn one end down to fit in the engine where the tip of the filter with the "O" ring sits. Run a large hole thru that end about 3/4 of the way into the piece of metal.
Drill and tap a hole into the side of the adapter so it meet the large hole. Run a line from the side hole in the adapter out thru the side of the oil filter cover using compression fittings and a short piece of brake tubing.  For the second line just drill and tap a second hole in the top edge of the oil filter cover and install whatever fitting you are using.      
  This design replaces the oil filter with an adapter that runs all the oil out thru the side of the oil filter cover to an external filter and cooler and returns it to the engine.
I don't think it would be hard to machine up the adapter, already found a round chunk of brass that should do the trick.  I'm just trying to figure out which way the oil flows, out of the cover into the filter or out of the filter into the cover, anybody out there know offhand?. What do you all think, will it work or not?
 The next couple days I'll be looking for fittings and and stuff for the mod, if it comes together I'll take pictures for everybody. , This is a itch that needs scratching.

Just pullled the oil filter cover and there just isn't enough room for an adapter. The only way I could see to hook up a remote oil cooler/filter would to be to thread the oil ports going in and out of the sidecase. Then you wouldn't need the cover at all.
 Good to see you are still around Torque, your post made me LOL

Hi- Me again, throwing in my half cent's worth... I was thinking an oil pressure gauge would be slick to add to the Savage, but most oil-ps gauges have too high of a scale to be effective.  (The Savage operates at a fairly low pressure) But- you can order a Fuel Pressure gauge 0-15lbs and use it with the appropriate fittings! I've seen them in the JC catalog for $29! Hope this helps the cause.

One thing I'm not too sure about, in the blue circle below.  Wouldn't the oil just flow in the direction of the blue arrow I've added?

I don't see a good way to plug that passage to get the oil to go the direction we want.

For a basic oil cooler kit that is about as good as it gets.

It looked like the oil was coming out toward the upper port on the right, then because the port is closed off, the oil takes a lateral turn toward the side of the case, and then turns up toward the oil filter.  I understand your thoughts about both sides (or ports) being under pressure, I had not thought about it that way earlier.   However, I still think that oil would flow through a cooler if mounted to these ports.  Even with the pressure on both sides, there would still be some oil drawn up by the flow of oil to the filter.   Looking at the diagram in the book there is a disc shape drawn in the lateral passageway, and I am unsure of its' significance.  One way valve?  This passageway is shown to be the oil bypass for the filter, according to the Lub. system diagram on the preceeding page.
I will check with the shop mech about the possible use of these ports.  Why else would they even be in the case, if not for a cooler.?
