    Rob, I think I said, mounting & plumbing an 1150 oil cooler & keep using the GS1100 filter cover, very little oil will go through the cooler. If that was incorrect, what was the point in you buying a NOS 1150 cover?..?..?/ I'm confused again.

      Doing that (installing a cooler on an 11E and not modifying/replacing the cover) would have been incorrect. Your statement that a stock 1100 filter cover would block (almost) all of the oil from going to the cooler is absolutely correct.

      It doesn't have to be an 1150 cooler. The above facts are true with any cooler that I know of on an 11E.

      But you're a more accomplished mechanic than I am. I just might be a more nerdy grammer/usage dork. Sorry for the misunderstanding.

      2016 XL883L sigpic Two-tone blue and white. Almost 42 hp! Status: destroyed, now owned by the insurance company. The hole in my memory starts an hour before the accident and ends 24 hours after.

        Sorry Rob, I just misunderstood what you were say'in. Now see you were verifying what I said... I'll now accept that nerdy trophy... More accomplished? Now that's something I've never been accused of that before.
