The cooler attachment from a CB550SC (83-85) will fit right under a stock oil filter housing with minor modification. A longer oil filter bolt is available aftermarket (oem part number should be 15420-333-000.) I have one for my 750 project, the big thing is making / routing oil lines.

A much nicer alternative is a thread on adapter - converts to a threaded filter and has fittings to plumb lines for the cooler, Terry in Austrailia makes them : here's one thread that describes both routes:
http://forums.sohc4.net/index.php?topic=66061.0

My question is what compression the engine will have when done, if it's much higher than stock a cooler would be requirement - higher compression = more heat...

I also wanted to say I'm really impressed with your glass work - especially using the skeleton of the stock tank! Keep up the great work!!!

Keep up the great work!

And then it looked like this , i am really happy with the outcome , not to shabby for first try in my opinion

Sweet! Throw them on the bike and snap a pic, or gently set them on and snap one or two. Paint looks great!

No bike , no seat , no engine

its all of to be coated , covered and machined

hapakev · « **Reply #129 on:** January 09, 2012, 10:51:13 AM »

Gotcha, I will just amuse myself with the mental image of the tins on the bike. Very nice build, i look forward to more.

How did you test the tank for leaks, pressure, fuel resistance? Did you make a fuel crossover tube on the bottom so the fuel makes it over the frame channel?

Lookin great!
My buddy bluegreen put one of terry's oil coolers on his bike. It's badass. Super high quality. Bluegreen is up for botm this month. Check it out!

Win some lose some, it's all the same to me.

In-f***ing-credible. Great choice of color and offset stripe. Awesome work all-around. Can't wait to see it all come together...

Emokid · « **Reply #134 on:** January 11, 2012, 01:12:14 PM »

Thanks for the great feedback guys

-frankenstuff : i put pressure in it and submerged it in water - no bubbles

also it will get a coating of caswell liner on the inside , will pick it up in the us ( heading over on saturday )

Keep going man. I'm just sitting around waiting for money and time on my project, so it's nice to see others going at it.

Back home from vacation , rough transition from +90 to - 4 degrees :/
But i managed to bring home a bunch of parts in my luggage , so now its on , building can really start .
Picking up the frame from powdercoat on monday , and the engineparts are hopefully machined by now , so i can paint the parts ans start assembly .
So this is what i got : ( frontend will not look as modern when i pick off some stuff , and i will probably go with only one brakedisc )

Looking good. Do you plan on running a mechanical speedo or electronic?

ive been in love with their chronoclassic for years. its a bit pricey though

Emokid · « **Reply #145 on:** February 06, 2012, 12:33:13 PM »

One or two discs ?
Im really in doubt , more vintage with one ? , more powerful / brutal look with two ?
Im not conserned about stopping power , i guess these 300 mm discs with a 4 piston callipper packs many times that of the original stuff even with just one , so , what do you think guys ?

I'd like to see how you fit those forks into your suitcase, or did you carry them on?

Duct tape is always your friend

cardboardbox with one rolll of dt , shecked in as a separate piece

no trouble at all

With your bike looking as aggressive it alredy does with the great fiberglass work, dual is the way to go.............KEEP THE UPDATES COMING!!!!!!

fastbroshi · « **Reply #149 on:** February 06, 2012, 03:23:44 PM »

One rotor should have plenty of stopping power, plus it's a bit lighter and that one side would be a bit less cluttered, all the better to show off those spokes you know.
