Here:


I want to relocate the oil cooler up high to clean up the lines of the bike a bit.  

Swapping the bottom cover to the top will interfere with the tach cable, which I need to keep.

What cover do I need for this?  Supersport 96-99?  Monster year XX ?  I've searched a bit, but I keep coming up with conflicting answers.  

Anyone have one I can buy?

Bob Miller used to make a kit for it:

He did not use a stock cooler , it was shorter and wider, but I don't know who made it.  The stock cooler will stick out from the bottom about 1/2 inch. 

I've thought about side-mounting two smaller coolers, one on each side, in series, but it would have one hot hot one and one warm one.  Under the and in the flow of air to the cylinders .. not a good idea on a full fairing.

"Yelling out of cars, turning your speakers out the window to blast your music onto the street, setting off M-80 firecrackers, firing automatic weapons into the airâ€"these are all well and good. But none of them create a merry atmosphere of insouciance and bonhomie quite like a revving motorcycle.

Do you have room for this?

+1. Do you think this could work on your SS frame?

You already have your frame coated, so you probably don't want to weld more tabs to it, but it is a cool out of the way place to mount the oil cooler.

I think the in frame one wouldn't get enough air without an airduct going to it.

As cool as it would be, I think I'm just gonna make a bracket and hang it above the front cylinder.  Or find that upper valve cover that would make it work.  Have to keep my focus :)

Valve cover - found one without the brackets, blasted and painted.

Front fairing stay, blasted and painted black, installed.

Wiring harness is loosely installed

TCIP4/Ignetech is here, and hooked up.

I'm waiting on some bodywork now..... no idea when it might or might now get here....I've been trying to get ahold of it for months now in anticipation of a delay.  Sigh...

Oh!  My cheap ass ordered some dan moto carbon cans.  Nice quality sleeves for $200 shipped.  After I trim off the end cap ridding myself of their logo, and mount up some straps to finish off the ends, they will look great.   I ordered up the tubing I need to fab the exhaust up, so the fun part will be started shortly :)

did you read the danmoto instructions and the part about NOT dynoing their carbon mufflers.  they're not very confident, with good cause from what i read on the AF1 forum.

i have some jisu ones to try to fit one day.  i just like the idea of the look.
