69chris Posted March 8, 2019 Posted March 8, 2019 (edited) been ages since iv been able to hobble out to garage to do anything, i woke up feeling pretty good today so spent a few hours out there but thinking iv made steps backwards !!!! fitted new oil cooler and lines and amazingly the bottom yoke hits the fittings on very much less than full lock !!!! needed to lower the whole lot so knocked up a spacers/threaded bar mess and ended up with this ............. its now clearing the yokes but imo looks shite !!!! but it will have to do until i can get back to work and earn some cash but the niggling issue is that, looks aside, the cooler is now below the header......... will this cause any probs ????? cheers Edited March 8, 2019 by 69chris Quote
Dezza Posted March 8, 2019 Posted March 8, 2019 Buy some 3-5mm angle alloy from ebays and custom make another top cooler bracket. If I can do it, anyone can Keep the current bracket for the next project. The devil with all non-stock bikes is always in the detail. 1 Quote
MeanBean49 Posted March 8, 2019 Posted March 8, 2019 Might want to check front wheel clearence if cooler is in front of the headers. Personally I would just reduce the steering lock to suit. Ive never really found it an issue apart from Austin Powers style turns in car parks 2 Quote
69chris Posted March 8, 2019 Author Posted March 8, 2019 cheers guys ill see if i can blag a 16 row cooler, then i think i could mount it with fittings at bottom and still clear the header, it doesn't help that my present cooler had M22 outlets so had to get adaptors which add a bit of height, a cooler with an8 fittings, a couple of 90 fittings and it'd prob clear, will see what comes along Quote
