Fitting aftermarket cooler on 750l

[martyngsxr]

Okay got a leaky original curved oil cooler so I've bought a 19 row 235mm cooler I'm going to be using a hel oil cooler bracket has anyone done the same as i don't really want to have to adapt the fairing  

[no class]

It's usually the 180 degree fittings that touch off the bottom yoke if the cooler is mounted too high. Just do a mock fit. Some of the brackets that come with coolers are 'universal' and sit too high as they are meant for mounting coolers upside down (bandit style) which clears the yokes.

ive plumped for 90 degree fittings on the cooler instead of the 180 i went with the hel oil cooler bracket

I'd just plumb it from the bottom...... cheaper straight fittings and shorter pipe as well!

Already bought the fittings and the pipe plus fire retardant sleeve

il be doing this soon to my build, can you literally just run a cooler upside down to have the fittings at the bottom?

And PLEASE don't ask 'that' question!

Don't overtighten the cooler in the brackets, they do not withstand vibration very well, HEL stopped giving any warranty on the coolers because of this. If you can't move it, it's too tight.

I resorted to fitting Slabby coolers in the finish, much stronger unit, just have to be careful not to overtighten the lines, seen plenty cracked because of this.....

Most stock cooler brackets have rubber somewhere in their construction, as said its there for a reason - solid mounts = split coolers!

Yup, HEL may have sorted their mounts out a bit better now, haven't used their kits for a long while. As I remember it, there wasn't enough metal to drill out to use the stock mounting rubbers so ther were hard mounted.....
