    Assembling oil cooler parts for installation.

    6C0A030A-689D-4880-B5F6-38AE73B52D7A.jpgHello everyone. I ask the help of this community in order to get an idea what I need to buy so I can mount an oil cooler on my 1980 GS550E. The heat here in Greece is unbelievable and I don’t feel comfortable riding the bike everyday to work under 45 degrees Celsius and some 7 or 8 traffic lights on the way there..!! I know that an adapter has to be put in place of the oil sensor unit behind the cylinders and after a lot of search for one in Europe I stumbled upon one in Germany from this company. The initial question is can this fit on a 1980 550?? Because the description of the shop says 750GS and upwards. Are the oil sensor on the 750s and upwards different than on the 550s?? Thanks a lot in advance to anyone who will share some insight.!

    I think the oil distribution cavity cover is the same so that 750 part should work.

The most attractive option was this complete kit for a 750 from a UK shop but obviously after Brexit I will get destroyed with the import taxes so I don’t intend to pull the trigger... I am thinking of sending an email to the German shop and ask them to prepare me a complete kit and give me a price and go from there...
