Oil cooler, solution in search of a problem,that just may create a fatal problem, I lost an engine in a Honda car because a tiny piece of gravel got thrown up by oncoming traffic & popped my radiator. A tiny leak on a cooler is gonna slowly drain your oil & you may not discover it until the engine starts to lose power about 10 seconds before the sleeve grabs the piston in a death grip. Next in the undesirable series of events is the rear wheel ceasing its rotation. Hopefully, the clutch will get pulled in time to keep you from crashing,
In short, cool as it would be, its really not gonna give ya anything but a clunky looking lump strapped on your trim little bike that can bite you in the butt. There are several things a guy can do that enhance performance or looks or just tend to make the bike "More to your liking". Theres the Verslavy for the cam chain,hopped up cam, seat lift, spark plug door, Raptor petcock, chain conversion, carb tuning, ditching that trash can Suzuki strapped on them & called it a muffler, fork brace, forward controls, different handlebars, bigger gas tank, give it to me,, lots of things you could do that would be easier than an oil cooler. But, if thats where yer head is & ya just cant let it go.,,, man, Go For ITTT,, & post pics, cuz we all like to see a project,., I think someone did it & made it work, but I cant remember who, or how,.
