EFE Oil coolers

[matt]

Hi, during the current rebuild I am going to be putting a new oil cooler on my EFE, just wondering what size is recommended?

The engine has a 1230 kit but apart from that is pretty standard, Is a 10 or 13 row cooler big enough, I am probably going with a 115mm width as the 235mm ones look a bit too wide.

Any advice would be appreciated, cheers.

10 or 13 should be easily big enough.  They can be run without. I run mine with a 1230 kit on a 10.

Thanks, I saw the pictures of your bike, very nice, that cooler looked like the wider one?

its wide face ( total body width 13") but is but its only  10 rows. I ran a 13 row before but it was the narrower body width (8.25 ")  The cooling surface area was probably on a par with what I have now.

What width of cooler were you considering?

I was thinking the narrower one, the wide one may look too wide on the EFE as there is no fairing like on the Katana.

i will have to mock something up to get an idea of how the two width options will look.

I have GSF 600 oil cooler in my supercharger 1327 EFE. It´s slightly too small when riding in city traffic. I´m going swap it to GSX 600 F cooler which is about 2 x bigger than GSF 600 cooler. It´s wide but so is EFE engine. When using oil cooler it would be good to have oil thermostat in the system.
