M900 oil cooler and pipes
Am after oil cooler from an early M900 monster along with the oil feed pipes.
Will also consider other coolers that mount above front cylinder and are handed to make cooler centred in line with wheelbase. TIA, Richard |

Can't help with the cooler but have the pipes and spigots if required

Thanks for that - will bear that in mind if I manage to find a matching cooler.

You can fit Multistrada oil lines which both go under the engine past the starter motor.
This helps no end when changing belts as they don't get in the way of the horiz' cover and it streamlines the look of the timing side. You will need later type nipples for the engine as the fittings are different, not sure if they go straight on the cooler? You could probably use a Multi cooler, but not sure what they look like? they will have the correct alignment to the CL though.

Thanks for the heads up on oil cooler lines...sounds like it could well be the route I go (sic). The Multistrada oil coolers I've seen on FB (other sites are available) aren't handed so will need some bracketry made up for it to locate in the right space. Not an impossible task, but not quite as neat as the handed solutions. Will see what's available and go from there I guess ... P.S. As the MS lines will be a fair bit longer than the Monster/SS ones, I guess a benefit might a slight gain in cooling ability. |

Ah! I didn't realise that Multi' coolers were not handed, they must have revised the bracketry to make the coolers universal. (cheaper.)
Best stick with a Monster cooler, or an SS one for overhead mount. Not sure if you need any extra cooling from the longer lines as the air cooled twins are all pretty much over cooled for the UK anyway. Just looked at mine and I can't remember if I had to change the fittings at the cooler end? I think they went straight on. I made some stainless steel stone guards for the Monster oil coolers as mine was looking very scruffy. They do the trick of covering the battered matrix and protect from further dings. I still have loads of them! http://www.ukmonster.co.uk/monster/s...er+stone+guard

Just had a thought.... it might be possible to mount the MS oil cooler using the lugs on the 900ss frame at the front where the airbox used to be. If it is possible then it doesn't need to be handed ... which might be a great result.
