Oil cooler

Rangerscott · 07-09-2010, 09:11 PM

I know ebay blah blah. Just need some more eyes and fingers.

I'm looking for bigger oil cooler for my VFR. The stock one is a 3-row cooler. I have a 6th gen on the way. It is a 4-row. I found that the RC51/VTR's are 5-row and the oil line connectors are positioned the same as my vfr's cooler. There are some on ebay but I'm trying to go cheaper if possible.

It doesnt have to be from those bikes but as long as its a good size and the oil line connectors are not at a hard degree from straight then it'll probably be good. I'd like to keep my stock hard lines and bend them some to fit. I don't mind if I go custom, but that brings more cost.

Here's an example of what I'm looking for.

How much difference would a larger penis make?

Bigger the rad, the more cooling area. It's not always about size though. How the cooler is made makes a big difference, but pretty much all bike oil coolers are pieces stamped together to make the whole unit. Nothing fancy inside. Just channels for the oil to flow through. The heat transfers to the aluminum body of the cooler and then to the fins where air dissipates the heat.
