Oil Cooler (a different approach)

[ducatiz]

I've seen this, and I like the idea a lot. Here's the one I've seen, sequential oil coolers:

it's a fine idea if you need it, but i don't..  my single cooler works great for my situation.  i just want to keep it equal -- but move it out of the way, sight-wise.

No, it would be unnecessary in many/most situations. I believe that if you were running big bore, high compression, torque cams and/or advanced ignition on a fully-faired bike, then you'd have some heat issues, especially if you live down south. Seems like it would be overkill on anything less, when it would be just as cheap to simply get a slightly oversized oil cooler to replace the single existing cooler on many models that have been modded.

if you are overheating while moving at speed, i would say yes.. but if it is just in traffic, then put a couple small fans on the cooler.. works very well.

Finally the finished product. Oil cooler on, cleaner brackets, multistrada valve cover.
Thanks again to Triple J and Pompetta for the doner parts.

Nice Job! I like that fact that it is not mounted to the valve cover.  For some reason, I like the engine separate from the engine.

Looks great!    I know I'm a bit late to the thread, but I've got a kinda similar location for mine and I like it a bunch.

Now you need to get a longer line so it doesnt go in-front of the belt (rather behind)..
I think I read somewhere that a stock oil line offa Hypermotard will do the trick...

Sorry I guess that didn't make much sense now did it? 

What I meant to say is:
"I like the oil cooler mounted separate from the engine..."

Does that sound better?
