well then, if you can devise a simple and leak proof way to get the oil from here, to an effective heat exchanger, then by all means do it! i think this common form of heat exchanging is done because it is relatively inexpensive, effective and easy to install (i'm talking the typical spin on adapter plate for the 750's). depending on how hot the oil is, a simple cooler like these will do a good job. i've seen much bigger ones out there, and they do work well, hell they even have a puller fan on the back! but the problem is first, for me at least, aesthetics. a big honkin effective cooler will work great, but look bad! 2nd is performance in my location. for a street ride, in the dallas metroplex, any amount of cooling i can gain is desired. add to this, increased capacity, and you have an overall reduction in BTU's because there's MORE oil to wick heat away, and there's an air-oil exchange which does do it's job. It simply HAS to based on thermodynamics... so since i trust physical laws, i trust an oil cooler will make a difference. throw in the fact that Honda used them on their factory race bikes, and TONS of other racers use them on their classic racers, i'm sold!
