Awesome forum! Wish I found this ages ago! I accidentally posted this in the forsale forum...

Anyhow, Im building a 78' f2 streetfighter probably going with an 836kit from cycle x, w undercut dogs, portedflowed head, and up graded suspension.

I want to run an oil cooler... whats avail other than cycleX's?

Any help would be appreciated.

Who sells oil cooler adapter plates? CycleX is the only one I can find in the States - and I can't get them to email me back regarding purchasing one. (No "buy" button next to it.)

Hey D,

Several guys in the forum, Terry from Oz, Me from the lowlands and maybe a few others.

Cheers, Rob

Try the phone Dave. They took on a new sales manager a few months back. He came on here saying he was going to improve things.

do they require you to use a thread on filter? Or do people on here make them so you can run after market filter can with oem size oil filter?

I'm sure you ask the right person on this site and you can get what you want.
If I still had a 750 motor I could do you one up, but am geared towards the 650 lineup myself.

You can use the bolt of a '78 F2.

I have an aftermarket long bolt (CB750F2 style) that has the 17mm head. $10 + $5 S&H

Brand new. I bot it for my CB750K not knowing that it is longer.

To MCRider
Normely we have to pay tax when stuff is coming from US to Europa, so I think it´s cheaper to by it from Germany.
Thanks anyway

After looking at the pic closely, think you need a adaptor bolt meaning inside and outside threaded. So you can use the normal size filter bolt.

My bad, just noticed you're from Norway. The internet is the great equalizer, just like you were next door.

Anyway, Rob at Voxonda may have brought up a good point as well.

Peter

Sorry for the last post

Who makes this adaptor bolt
Peter

voxonda · « **Reply #18 on:** September 11, 2010, 07:45:20 AM »

I could help with that.

Rob

DresdaHonda · « **Reply #19 on:** September 12, 2010, 04:19:04 AM »

So this adaptor bolt with inside and outside threaded need to have a surface with a o-ring to force the oil in to the oilcooler an back to the filter.
-what about the thermostat ,wen it's closed, it will prevent oil access through the filter !!
-or do I misunderstood something.

Peter

bwaller · « **Reply #20 on:** September 12, 2010, 04:36:14 AM »

The adaptor bolt fastens the adaptor plate to the the engine case (male thread), and its female thread then allows the oil filter housing bolt to attach normally.

When the thermostat closes it blocks the cooler and reroutes back down to the filter. No problem.

...I have a complete oil cooler kit but I miss the thermostat, where can I get a good thermostat for it?
