    Oil filter cover differences between GS 1100 and GS 1150

    I've installed a GS 1150 engine in a GS 1000 frame.
    Currently, the engine has no oil cooler installed and is running with the standard GS 1100 oil filter cover.
    As I'm planning to use an oil cooler, I should probably fit the GS 1150 oil filter cover except that it's no longer available...
    What are the pros and cons of not doing so?

    The 1150 cover has a restriction built in to force oil into the oil cooler ports and my understanding is that if using the 1100 cover the oil will simply bypass the oil cooler ports rendering the cooler as useless.

    When consulting the magic 8 ball for advice, one must first ask it "will your answers be accurate?"

      That makes sense!
      Thanks for the answer.

        The GS1100E oil filter cover can be easily modified to work with an oil cooler. But there are plenty of GS1150 covers out there, in barns or the greasy hands of members here, that are plug and play.

        When I added a cooler to my '82 11E, a member here sold me an 1150 model, complete with lines attached and a NOS 1150 filter cover. Runs like the Antarctic now.

                Sounds like a serious undertaking! If you're thinking about adding an oil cooler down the line, it makes sense you'd want the GS 1150 oil filter cover. Too bad it's hard to find these days. Maybe try reaching out to superlift customer service for some advice or alternatives? They might have some ideas or point you in the right direction, even if it's a bit out of the usual. Keeping your engine cool is key, especially with these mods.

                      I got my 1150 cover right here on GSR. I put up a WTB ad. It took a while, but one came through eventually. I also had feelers out on evilbay.
