Piece of junk. Throw it in the trash, it doesn't deserve to be on your bike. Send me your address, I'll even drag that heap to ~~the trunk of my car~~ , I mean curb.

Haha, i think you're right. But i wouldn't feel right having you burden yourself coming to get some a pos. Might put on the lawn mower

What are you using for stays to keep the lines off of the pipes?

NobleHops · « **Reply #403 on:** April 27, 2017, 10:00:22 PM »

Seems like that oil cooler is going to get scorched by the header pipes while it blocks the majority of the airflow to the head. It looks too low and it's too big man. I like the concept but I don't think this is going to work out.

This is a tried approach for oil coolers on any of the inline fours. Plenty of clearance from the headers. Airflow is fine and the oil cooler is the key part to keeping oil temp down. Go look at the oil coolers on most bikes. It's in the same position. Triton triumphs, my rc51, etc. This is also the same style kit cycle x offers, mc-again, rock city racers.

This has been a tried and tried system that both Kevin's run on their modified 400's and I believe kaz ran this style on his z1 beaters.

at some point i'll probably do some aluminum stay brackets if needed, with the tension in the lines, they stay pretty good right now

NobleHops · « **Reply #406 on:** April 28, 2017, 08:07:38 AM »

Does the oil cooler fit if you flip it so the bracket is on the bottom? That position would be more or less identical to where it is on my air cooled CB750F and CBX. Not trying to break your balls, at all, it just looks too low there.

I picked up some nice oil line to frame clamps from J&P Cycles.

I actually really like the height of it. It leaves me enough room to add a steering stabilizer down the road if i choose to. Thanks Kevin on where you found your clamps, I'm going to add some down the road.

Well got my larger baffle for the exhaust. This baby should flow nicely.

I smell a BOTM headed your way.

JMO. I still think you should do something with those oil cooler lines. They look like a second thought. Flip the cooler and run them with cleaner lines.

That's how this cooler is setup to work. It's from ttr400. I'm happy with how it turned out. I have to clamps to hold the lines in place that are going on.

Actually made some progress. Got the carbs back on the rack and put on the bike so I can route my throttle cables. Now I can put on the HRC 1/4 turn throttle. Also got my 11mm brembo brake master and domino clutch perch.
