Pete
That's super helpful thanks! Do you by any chance know where I could find those or what they might look like?

If you need a part, try looking it up on a site with an exploded diagram like bike bandit. And if you need some guidance give Z1 enterprises a call. They can direct u to something they have, or perhaps an option for you.

On the 650s those two places originally had oil plugs, the OEM part no. is 92066-066,. Also each plug has an o-ring (18 mm), OEM part no. is 92055-1146.
As to where you can find them, I'm not sure since I'm in Europe, but these plugs are used on several models and shouldn't be hard to come by, wouldn't be surprised if a member here had a couple of spares.
Here's a pic of what the plugs look like:
And here's one of the right side plug, the other is directly opposite:

There is a blanking plate available for the non oil- cooler equipped models, alternatively you can just join the send and return together with a length of pipe.
you could ebay that for some cash, period aftermarket bits are quite sought after.

Anyway, the plug at the rear of the engine is the same as the ones I listed above.

The oil cooler does connect to the right side of the engine below the ignition cover (return), however the send is not connected below the stator cover but to the oil pan at the rear of the engine right beside the oil filter. Here's a link to installation instructions of a Lockhart type oil cooler on a 650:
