Topic: original honda sohc oil cooler set up?

I can't see why it won't work, but will it fit? That hole through the adaptor is too large but can be fixed or plugged.

If you can wait a week I'll let you know, I just bought one cheap.

Let us know how you go Brent, I suspect it won't fit without some cutting, but it looks like a good setup for sure. Cheers, Terry.

I had a Derale copper cooler on my modified 750F2. When Freddie Spencer was racing the 1025 Superbike, AMC said that they used a GL1000 oil filter housing as they had no fins on them as OEM. So I managed to find one, painted it in Gun Kote & fitted that instead of the OEM finned item.
I didn't like the sleeve that Derale supplied so I made up a dural sleeve that was a far better fit that was a press fit into the base plate.
I have some piccies somewhere so i'll post them when I get a chance.

As well as the kit that is shown I also used a Lockhart thermostsat which was ideal for a cold startup. I had custom made Aeroquip hoses to connect everything up.

Very nice mate, I've got one of them sitting in a box, I didn't know that Derale used a sleeve, but it's a good idea, and would keep the weight down, hell, I think I'll start using sleeves in my adapters from now on, it'll save me a bit of work too! I love the special oil filter canister, I wonder why they bothered though, apart from aesthetics, I can't see the point? Those Lockhart thermostatic bypasses are still available, not really necessary in warmer climes like Oz, but handy on the frozen end of the planet, for sure! Cheers, Terry.

I didn't think much of the spacer as it seemed a bit flimsy...
