    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.

Oil cooler weirdness

One of the things that came with my GS1000e when I bought it was a Derale cooler in the box. It's contemporary with the bike - early '80s at the newest. Anyway, it doesn't have the pressure sender adapter for the back of the motor. Instead it has a drill template and instructions for drilling and tapping the adapter.

Is this a valid way to do the plumbing or am I wasting my time with this cooler that would be better passed on?
 
Contact terry on here, he makes some nice billet adapter plates at a very good price.

How about a pic of your derale kit mate, I'm not sure if I've seen one? If you need an adapter, let me know, I just made a couple, and I'm just waiting on the aluminum shop to re-open after Christmas so I can finish them. Cheers, Terry.

I'd like to see that template, too! Is it a template for tapping the oil filter cover?
 
I decided to install it as-is, since I had it already.

Here it is in the box:

Here's the drill guide it came with being used:

Here it is tapped and adapted:

Here's the return fitting (which contains a restrictor and a brass filter:

Not as trick as your adapter but it came with the cooler.
 
wow that doesnt look like a bad set up! Where'd you pick that up at and if you dont mind how much did it run you?
 
That looks ok mate, did they supply the drill bit and tap etc?

It was in a pile of stuff that the original owner of my bike had. It's from the 80s - I paid him $60 for the cooler and a K&N filter and I thought it was well worth it.

The kit did not have the drill bits or taps - I had that stuff on hand. It came with the fittings though. I'd just go with Terry's kit if I were starting from scratch.
