im in the market for an oil cooler and theres not many used 1150 coolers out there so i started looking at 750s. anyone ever mounted a 750 cooler on an 1100? trying to see if i would have to fab anything for mounts or if itll bolt up the same
 
No, but I have a lightly used Lockhart oil cooler with new fittings and hose for my GS1100E. I've been admiring the billet 1150 oil filter plates on ebay for a while, I'll probably get one while I can.
 
Easy for me to say, but you might want to get an Earl's cooler. Attach to the oil take-off ports, just below the oil filter cavity. And get an 1150 oil filter cover. That would be a righteous install.
 
I've ridden GS's all over California & Nevada in temps past 100 degrees & dealing with Los Angeles local traffic in those temps too. Only once did I ever get any real sort of "heads up" that it was getting hot & that was the 1000G. I was stuck in a stop & go jam in downtown LA with no room to split the traffic. Temps were well over 100 that day. The idle raised by about 200-300 RPM. It was fine once it cooled down.

I don't think you need a cooler for road work. I actually think you'd probably want a thermostat in the cooler for the opposite problem when it's colder if you fit one....
