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.

ok so i bought a 1150 cover for $10 at the local used bike parts dealer, i got a 700 or 750 oil cooler from billy ricks (thanks again). what i need now are the fittings for the cooler. i'm going to install a thermostat between the cooler and engine so stock line won't work for me. so where is a good place to find fittings and does anyone know the size and type fitting off an 83 750e cooler (same as 85 700e) any help is appreciated
you can use hose clamps or call Paragonperformance

The OEM suzuki stuff is some odd metric size.
Not sure why you need a thermostat as that is a small cooler and a big engine. Just more places to leak.
On mine GS1100ED I always ran to about 180 deg minimum. 220 when hot or possibly 250 in Death valley.

For both my bikes I went to Summit Racing for hoses and fittings. www.summitracing.com Stick with the Summit brand, rather than Earl's or Russel Performance, and it will be budget friendly.
I used -6 steal braided hose and AN fittings. And I had to fabricate or otherwise purchase adapters both at the engine and at the cooler. Easy to do if you are handy.
The cooler on my GS1000 has a built in thermostat. For my GS1100 I purchased an in-line thermostat, also from Summit. It helps to keep the oil in the motor until the temp gets up. But that happens pretty quickly out here in Cali.
On a recent road trip with the GS1000, at high altitudes I was barely hitting 150 degrees. At those temps is good to keep the cooler isolated. At lower altitudes, Death Valley & Las Vegas, I was glad I had the stat. Oil temps in Vegas were reaching 260 degrees in traffic!
