But what a hob nob job if you ask me.... :blink:

Probably just needs a little more silicone! :laugh: :laugh:

Thats a ugly looking job for sure..

I used that same 12 row cooler on my 78 1000 ltd but trimmed the flanges and made some small brkts to mount it. I wanted to keep the stock oil light so I tapped the fitting ( oil sending unit? ) for 1/2" hose barb and then used an epoxy to block the inlet and outlet connection on the send. unit. I had to drill and tap a new hole in the unit but had to reduce to 3/8" fitting because of the wall thickness.

Any pics of the stainless tubing idea mounted?

My bikes are both torn down getting painted for a rebuild but I used the 12 row cooler and 3/8" 304 stainless tubing. You can get it from Onlinemetals.com, 2 5' sections are about $35 total, 1/2" is to large to bend tight enough. Just follow the swagelok instructions, it's finger tight then mark it and spin 1.25 turns. We use them alot here at work for transfering solvents and pressure them up to 35 PsiG and have never had one blow off, rupture or leak and you can get them on the major online auction site for about $10 for a set.

A normal person could put there bike together in a few weeks, will take me 3 months so if you can wait that long I'll post up some pictures.

Old Man Rock: Checktout my "Z1-900 Stage II" link. There should be at least one photo of this JC Whitney cooler mounted.

AH-sooooo.... Yup, figured that was how'd you have it mounted...

BTW, white, black and buffed aluminum looks might purdy... The color matching flows beautifully... Sweet!
