Top End Oiler Project

[Greg B]

I am currently in the process of make several oiler kits for GS1100-1150. Not quite finished with them, but wanted to get some opinions.

I plan on offering two styles of distribution blocks. One will retain the stock oil pressure and temp sensors. The other will eliminate these sensors.
I'm still in the process of getting a vendor for anodizing. Plus vendors for fittings and oil lines.

Thoughts?
Suggestions?
Criticisms?

Offer one in black, retaining the stock sensors. I'd pick that up in a minute.

Actually, any color is available.

As long as it IS black!!!
By choosing a single color it keeps anodizing cost down.

What'd you think it'd cost to anodize a single complete unit? You could also offer a few for sale to be finished by the end user.

+ 1.. I would take one in black for sure.

The anodizers charge by the lot, or batch, if you prefer. So, it's cost effective to get as many parts into the batch as you can. I considered setting up an anodize line and doing it myself. But the nasty chemicals and effort involved nixed that idea.
I have considered the idea of also selling individual parts, as well as complete kits.

On a side note, I have found that Suzuki for some strange reason used a rather odd British thread for temp sensor. (Maybe not so odd if you're British) 1/8-28 BSTP, as opposed to 1/8-27 NPT. Getting taps to do the job is not an issue. But just an interesting bit of info.

Good idea! I'm interested about a distribution block that retains the stock sensors.

id be interested in a whole kit ....black or siver ...not fussed......can you post to UK

 

[jwhelan65]

Any idea on cost on a kit?

 

[DMorris]

Look good!

Look good!

They look great from what I can see.
I'd be interested in a set that keeps the sensors if the price was OK.

a british thread on a japanese motorcycle extremely odd

 

[amxsteve]

i want two please as long as there priced right and i like red

 

[saffa]

an american forum about japanese bikes containing british threads ........insane


but seriously ...how much ....have a 1500 bigblock that requires one

Greg told me he is trying to keep them around 175-180. I've had the parts in my hands & Greg builds NICE stuff! He has tried to remove all issues with the ones out there to make them more streetable & user friendly & he's good at fixing the issues! Ray.

 

[jwhelan65]

Sounds reasonable I am in for one.

 

[TheCafeKid]

Me too me too! I've been wanting to get a top end oiler for some time. Just frankly didn't like the red (pink people it's really pink) anodized ones everyone seems to have. Hope this pans out cause i'd like to get one soon!

Sender block

Sender block

Will sender block be available separate? mine now has single output for line only

 

[gearhead13]

I am thinking of getting one of those setups, plain aluminum is cool as well. Anything but pink.

 

[Greg B]

I should be able to get the parts to anodize next week.
Waiting on a quote for fitting and hoses. Hoping that won't be a deal breaker.
I DO plan on offering individual parts for sale also. Kind of a "build what you need" kit.
I'll keep every one who is interested up to date as I know more.
