GSF 1200 Bandit - Cam cover Oil feed Adaptor ?

The Torques stuff can be a little bulky. The take off fitting on the left side of the cam cover can interfere with the fuel tap on slingshots. Might be the same story with bandits.

If you're fitting a head cooler then the T-piece isn't required. Just buy the bits needed individually rather than the kit.

Eh? Normally single output splits via Tee to two inlets. With a cooler, single output goes to cooler, from cooler to Tee then two inlets! All parts in that kit are required.

The part supplied in that kit is to replace the Y piece that runs down the back of the block with AN hose, not for adding a head cooler.  You need a male/male,  -6 -8 "T" or "Y" fitting to plumb in a head cooler.

The t piece in the kit isn't much use for fitting a head cooler. Depending on hose routing, using a more compact t or a y piece as duncan states for the feed from the cooler to the head will give a better result.

Depends where the cooler is. On my slingy, the cooler is where the airbox sat and the two ducts supply cool air to it. The t worked perfect.

Off topic, but what engine is that? I see that you have the slabbie valve cover with the integrated breather.

The nature of your t-piece can't be seen. If it's the same as the one in the kit as in the OP, then a male-male adapter will be needed to connect the hose coming from the cooler to the T. So if someone buys the kit, to use the T-supplied an additional male-male adapter is also required. Or simply buy the bits separately and use a T or Y adapter with all male ends as duncan describes. I.e the T bit supplied with the kit is not much use (as it is) if a head cooler is to be fitted. I include a picture of my set-up for clarity

It's possible I had to use an adaptor. I'll try and get a better pic

Looks like I used a An8 male male adaptor on the T

Yeah nothing wrong doing it that way if you have the parts already, I think I did my first 1100 like that, but I much rather use a male.,male Y piece when I fit a head cooler now.
