Hello from Devon , UK!
« on: June 02, 2014, 11:14:31 PM »
Hello all thanks for having me! After finally passing my test last year I purchased a cb650c (along with nearly two spare cb650s in bits/boxes...)which I have been tinkering with since . Not sure how to post pics but I will if possible. Anyway, Apart from the once fortnightly 'long ride' most of my time on bike is around the city. Being air cooled it does need the air slamming into the fins to cool it down (obviously). When sitting in traffic it soon feels like your sitting on a boiling cauldron of, well, oil. I'm pretty sure it can't be too good for the old engine, it is 33 years old after all.So I thought about it and eureka! What about an oil cooler? Does the later 650dohc oil cooler fit my 650sohc? Well, after a google later I found myself here searching for a solution to my question. I believe it will, but it needs an adapter plate. And there was a chap on here who made such a thing. So basically any advice/info would be appreciated on this matter...,
Many thanks!
