When oil cooler sellers put their kits together this is how they came. Either way works fine. The cases are the same.

The engine cases? The '82 and '83 11Es are different - designed with the cooler in mind, so lines didn't have to be run around the sides or over the top (through the tunnel) to the back of the engine. Just straight down a few inches from the cooler to ready-made inlets on either side of the filter cover.

Yes you are wrong. All GS1100/1150 chain drive cases from 1980-1986 have the ports next to the oil filter cover to run lines to an oil cooler. They are plugged if the model didn’t come with a factory oil cooler. The aftermarket coolers for the GS1100/1150 chain drives have oil filter covers with ports for the cooler lines.Comment

Because the aftermarket oil cooler kits come that way. You would have to ask the manufacturers why. I would guess, because is it’s cheaper. The OEM system requires banjo fittings, hollow bolts, crush washers, and specific made lines. The aftermarket uses hardware store hose barb fittings, bulk rubber hose cut to length, and hose clamps.Comment

Yes the 1150 set up looks and works nice. You have to remember that in 80-82 there was no factory oil coolers on the US spec models. The aftermarket parts manufacturers came up with a reasonably priced oil cooling system.Comment

Very good to know that!
I'm foolish for running my last +3mm big bore kit without buying one of the $140 oil cooler adapters to run one of the 2 or 3 oil coolers that I have on the shelf... The next big bore builds will all be getting oil coolers... I ride in the heat from Ohio down to North Carolina, I ride real hard, I ride high performance built modified engines, & some of them will see track time...
As to the comment about routing the cooler exit line to the drain plug or filler, I was taking that as the drain plugs that I have on some of my 8v oil filter covers.
I do have one complete NOS oil cooler setup with an adapter that bolts on UNDER the oil filter cover on the front of my 1st gen 8v engines.
Is the outside portion of the oil filter the "dirty" inlet side? And the center is the "clean" side?Last edited by Chuck78; 11-20-2019, 09:35 PM.'77 GS750 920cc heavily modded

The oil feeds up from the center and enters the distribution cavity, it then splits and some goes to the top end and the rest to the transmission. With a cooler the oil feeds from the pump and through the cooler, and then back to the distribution cavity where it goes to the engine. There is extra pumping losses with the cooler which is why the 750 pump gears can help. The flow will put your gaskets in the top end under stress though.Ed
To measure is to know.
