    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.

Oil cooler question

Just to confirm - I'm fitting a GS1150 oil cooler on to my 82 1100E

I have via a member here the following 1150 parts

oil cooler and bracket
oil lines and banjo bolts
gs1150 oil filter cover

anything I'm missing ??
 
I have two bikes with coolers.
78 gs 100 has thermostat to control flow if its cold and the 83 GS 1100e has no stat. I was thinking of using manual hand valve to open or close depending on temperature and the outside conditions , but a stat will do it for you, they can be a little expensive.
Lockhart oil coolers and stats on eBay is a good starting point.
 
Series r/r can considerably lower your operating temperature on letter bb bikes. I know it works at 100 deg and high humidity (80%)
 
Houston spring/summer/fall/winter = no thermostat needed :D

It was 80+this week and we've had 1 frost this year and 3 in the last 2 years
 
The 750 oil pump gears increase oil flow by overdriving the pump. Some guys like this when running external head oilers and/or an oil cooler since the extra plumbing will create pumping losses. If your head/base gasket is weak though you may get oil leaks.
