A few of us went out for a weekend to Loch, which is out past Korumburra, the girls jumped in the car and we rode the long way out through Nujee and Druin, well that was the plan till I pulled up at the intersection before Nujee and found myself in the middle of a cloud of oil smoke. Turns out the ebay oil cooler I had fitted had split and was pumping all of my oil onto my boot and the back tyre, so I limped into Neerim junction and managed to borrow a garage behind the antique shop ( big thanks to the people at THE JUNCTION BOX antiques! ) So to cut a short story long I am in need of a new oil cooler, as I said earlier I bought the last one off ebay, should I go that way again or did it split because it was a cheap piece of crap meaning I need to spend some more money and buy a name brand.

i have one of those ebay coolers on the turbo bike. don't think it is under as much pressure tho as it is cooling the head oil feed. maybe go that way again and carry a spare ;)

hey gibbo , do you still have that clutch cover that didn't have the window in it. need to grab it off you mate so i can keep the changeover thing happening.

I have a new ebay one here i no longer plan on using, but not sure the size will be the same
300x140x50, 2 -8 or -10 fittings in the top , pay the postage or shout a round or 2 at the supers if you want it

I assume you are rubber mounting the coolers Gibbo, solid mounts will split a cooler in no time. Bike rads in Dandenong quoted me $300 to do a custom cooler for my 88 750. Excellent quality work.

Yes mate, rubber mounted, however I like the sound of a custom cooler, cause I'm custom as bro.... have you got any pics of yours?

I didn't end up getting one done (the gsxr is way down the list of things to do) but have seen plenty of their work it's really good quality. Give tyhem a call.
