696 and 1100 Monster Aftermarket Oil Cooler Kit

[R2]

I saw this at MotoWheels as a pre-order. It is only $20 cheaper than the Ducati oil cooler. Does it cool better than the Ducati part?

I see the DP one for cheaper on one site. But, who knows how long until the DP one gets to your door if it isn't in stock, and if the H competition works better . . . it's worth the $6 extra. Don't forget the $150 worth of readable instruction.

Oooo... fancy. Nice price drop. That makes it all the better.

Why don't you advertise the lowest price to begin with, or require people to make an account to order? I've ordered from you before but never knew about the membership offering discounts.

EDIT: Welp, this puppy is ordered! Hopefully it won't be too long for you guys to get the first batch... Winter is gone, we don't have spring, and summer is threatening my Monster! I was at 4 bars on the highway today when it was 80 degrees. I can't imagine what it will be like going 5 mph in traffic when it hits 100 degrees.

Good to know.

For group buys, this is only open to the people that are willing to wait.

Many MFG's (such as Dainese, PUMA, Bell, Ohlins, SpeedCell and others) have price protection/agreement or minimum advertised price policies in place- so we have to hide the discounts behind passwords.

It is possible to remove the front shroud and continue to use the oil cooler we found out!  Here are the pics with the shrouds removed.  It also works with the 1100 Monster

just FYI, the M1100 comes stock with an oil cooler.

Sorry, let me clarify what I was pointing out. The DP Oil cooler kit, aka stock 1100 kit does not have a lower support so it is not possible to remove the shroud and keep the oil cooler supported. The plastic shroud is the lower support. Since we use the engine as the lower support, you can remove all extra pieces.

I imagine the kit should be pretty easy to install on the M1100 since the bypass valve should already be in place?

Yes, it would just be a matter of swapping lines and adapters.

What's involved in installing this on a 696?  I assume one would have to drain all the oil first... then what?  Any installation manual online?  Would love to get this but I'm looking for a wrench project I can do myself on a lazy Saturday afternoon.

Have you gotten it yet?

Update for the folks who pre-ordered their oil coolers!

Coolers Shipped today....I am excited to hear the feed back, good or bad..  You do not have to change the oil when you install the cooler. I would suggest at least changing the oil filter however.  If you have 2500 miles or so on your oil, you might as well change it out or if your oil has already been to 6 bars. If you don't decide to change your oil,  you will need to have at least a quart of oil on hand cause you will lose about 1/3 of a quart of oil during the process and you will have to add some due to the cooler capacity.  If anyone would like to see the instructions, PM me and I will send you a link to the PDF file.

ok been wondering about that. since the oil cooler is up, how do you fill the oil level? wound't the oil just all drain back into the case, thereby overflowing if you fill for the additional oil cooler?
