I swear I've seen it on here. Is there a writeup on moving the oil cooler below the head? If not, what all is involved? I think it would look pretty neat. Thanks.
Depending on your model, you can get a pre-99 SS valve head cover.

Yeah...I just went and looked. Not so cut and dry. Are there any pics of it done on a Monster?
No idea.
That photo is a factory setup for a 199x 900ss. My point was, go pick up an oil cooler and lines from one of those off ebay and you are done. You just need the valve head cover to mount it.
Very cut and dry.
If you look at that picture and squint, it looks like a Monster. Same engine, wheels, brakes, forks.. yeah, the seat & tank are different, but trust me on this... :D
For the 900s you just use, as suggested, a 900ss valve cover.

You'll also need new oil lines. I just got a set of used 749 lines, but any lines off a 900ss will work provided they are the right size to attach to the cooler (AN-6, I believe) And even if they don't fit, adapters are cheap.
