Nice and tidy Dave, whats that plate in front of the horn?

State inspection sticker.   Hides the horn and keeps the sticker off the forks.   [moto]

Hey guys,

I've got a 2001 M600 (they don't come with a temp gauge) and wondering if you guys think it would be worth it putting an oil cooler on mine?  By the way I live in SoCal, which we all know is warm most of the year.  Also, it sound like they work like a radiator would, so why than do I see bikes with both features?

Thanks

Just as an FYI, here is how summit racing has it in there webstore:

Six feet will be plenty.  Take your time measuring the hose:  measure twice, cut once.

I amended my post to include the pricing / part numbers for using Russell Performance fittings which come in the black/silver finish... and cost about $20 less than Earl's.

Thoughtful post!  That will be a real time-saver to others looking to do this mod/upgrade.

There is something that blue anodized bits just would not be right on a black S2R.

Apart from that I would want to powder coat the wheels from white to black/red stripe or dark red/black stripe. I don't mind having brake dust accumulate, but man those white rims are for a museum not the road.

Thanks to RB for the initial part numbers.

It's a shame there is no way to just share the shopping carts from a website. Then anyone would be just a click away from ordering.

I went back ONEMORETIME, and made the hyperlinks for the part numbers take you to summit, just enter the correct quantities, add to cart, ping pong between the post and it should be even easier to do... As long as summit doesn't change their database.

This has "tutorial potential" with some pictures. Enjoy!

If you call these guys, they should have my entire order on hand, so esentially you could just give them a shipping address, and payment.

I do realize that no one has posted a reply to this topic in more than 2 years, but I need to know something specific about the content here.  I've got a Monster 695 and I'm going to put a cooler on it as soon as I can get all the parts together.  All I need now are the hoses and fittings, but I have a question for you first.  Now, I'm not the smartest man in the world, but if you've got 2 hoses then it stands to reason that you should need only 4 hose ends.  So why is it in the 3 different orders on the 2 pages of this topic are there 5 hose ends?  

I'm planning on ordering the following, but that may change:

[4] A146M Mr. Gasket Shadow Series Adapter, 14mm x 1.5 Size -6 AN
[4] AT804506ERL Earl's Ano-Tuff Swivel-Seal Hose End, 45 Degree -6 AN Hose to Female -6 AN
[1] 350606ERL Earl's Pro-Lite 350 Braided Nylon Hose, -6 AN 6'

My only concern is that the 45 degree hose ends will not clear the starter motor when connected to the adapters in the engine unless the hose ends are angled down instead of parallel to the ground, so I may have to go with the 30 degree hose ends instead.  Any input that you can provide on this is greatly appreciated.  Thanks!

5 adapters is because the on the oil cooler end, the belt side line must imidiately turn at 90 degrees and then it joins along the path of the sprocket side line which can come of the cooler in a straight fashion. hope that makes sense outside of my head 

can be seen in this picture

Must point out that the above pic of the Flight Cycles M1000SS is an aftermarket cooler in a non-OEM location and mount.

So the number and style of fittings used isn't necessarily what you'd need for an OEM style install.

I'm gonna res this thread again because my question is somewhat related.

If I suspect that I've got a leak coming from my fittings right where they mount on the engine (shown in Spidey's picture), what would I be looking to fix? Is there just a crush washer or something in there that I can replace? I suspect that one of the times that I was checking the valves on the horizontal head, I must have cranked on the oil cooler a bit hard to move it out of the way because there is a crease in my steel braided line.
