    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

BTW "Original Part" means custom made.

Dink, are you sure the 2000 Katana's didn't have an oil cooler? The 1150 oil cooler doesn't fit between the frame so you can't locate it where the fake oil cooler bottom cover is located. (The Katana has small side covers below the front cowling) If you look at the Yoshi picture you will see what I am looking for. The 1150 is wider than the frame and locates in front of the cowling and covers.
 
The 2000 model did not have an oil cooler ex-factory.
The Yoshi Katana does not have an oil coler that fit between the frame rails, the oil cooler replaces the "cover" between the two filler panels and mounts in front of the frame rails.
So without getting a custom made one done the easiest way to add one is how I suggested, another option is to find an auto trans cooler off a car, get linesmade up. However you do iy you must add an 1150 oil filter cover; or modify yours, as otherwise the oil will just bypass the cooler and go through the oil filter instead.

If you get Speedvision (or speedtv as its now called), watch the Barrett-Jackson classic car auctions...I saw a Plymouth Barracuda (1970 Hemi) fetch $420,000 lately:shock: .....even 36 years later, a pretty good return!

Know where you're going here, lots of classic cars eventually appreciate but lots of vehicles don't too.... A GM truck that's being used everyday is not going to come back up in value for 40 years plus & then mostly due to inflation & if it's not trashed. Surely that can't be an investment.

It'll be sold for a loss 35 years before then or sooner for sure....

Where we're at with the 20 year old machines I think they've kind of just started to really stabilise, if they're in good cond & you don't spend a bunch you should get most of it back.

The only other machines I know that don't lose a packet are speciality ones such as the kit car I have in the UK...

The phraseology just interested me, I'm still learning the language out here... :-D

I am not usually a huge fan of sportbikes, but that is one heck of a bike. I have always been partial to bikes you can see through, they always seemed more honest to me. Plus, that one has a naked/streeetfighter look that just draws me in.
