Fitting oil cooler to CB500
« on: February 13, 2019, 02:05:09 AM »
Here I go again.
Another day, another question.
I'm looking at fitting an oil cooler to my CB500-powered historic road racer and found an oil cooler sandwich plate adapter on the 4into1 website for a very reasonable $100, BUT, IT's only listed for the 350 and 400 fours.
My question to those more knowledgeable than me on matters sohc is, will this adapter plate also fit the CB500 motor?
Thanks in advance.
