Does anyone know a source for a kit for the KZs ??
OLDKAWAMAN has a good description of how to fab it up yourself, but I wanted to check out sources before I do all that work. ANY help would - well - help

TANX GUYS

Some people on here use the coolers available through JC Whitney, other use coolers made for the older oil-cooled GSXR or any 600/750 Katana. You need to figure out how big a cooler you need and start searching eBay. Even some ATV's have decent sized coolers that would work.

Don't know what KZ you have but have heard here that I believe GPZ550/750 (?) oil pans with coolers are a bolt on job!! Have to fab the cooler to frame but pan bolts right on!!

I bought a oil cooler from JC Whitney, works great but now I can't use a steering damper which I really need.

I did just that! I got a oil pan an cooler from GPZ and it was a straight bolt on. The only thing I had to do was fabricate a mounting bracket since I got it without one.

I got it by doing a parts inquiry through www.uneedapart.com/used-kawasaki-motorcycle-parts.php I got more then one response and once I got the price I wanted I bought it :P

I believe OLDKAWMAN will sell you a kit that comes with everything you need or it's ready to go, can't remember which but I remember reading that while I was on his site awhile back.

MAN!! Look at all the RTV silicon sealer on that motor!:S I would imagine that there is equal amounts of sealer on the inside of the engine gaskets also.
WOW!
