Anyone make a plug n play kit to replace the rust prone oil cooler pipes for Ducs? Guess it would be SS or anodized Alum.
Got a s2r1k. No polish/coating seems to keep it off for more than a couple rides. And I'm a rider, not a polisher.
Does paint work?
Thanks guys.
'06 S2R1k- Have a nice day! :)

No kits, but you can purchase fittings and braided stainless hose.  Check out this thread: http://ducatimonsterforum.org/index.php?topic=12619.0

If you have a shop that makes hoses for tractors, they can make up anything you want. Or, Russel and all the other make fittings & hose that you make up yourself, Jegs is a good source.

If you have a local shop make sure you take the entire line and adapters that thread into the engine and cooler with you.
Really this is a very easy project (making the new lines yourself). There are even how-to videos on the Earls Plumbing site.
