Cbr 1100 Oil Cooler Mod
just to start out i would like this to be a sticky seeing as i have been asked about this mod 4 times this week and there have been ALOT of posts about it.
i got a cbr 1100 black hawk oil cooler on ebay for about $40 (but any cbr 1100 oil cooler will work) i flushed it out and zip tied it to the upper frame bars right behind the steering stem (i plan on making mounting brackets) and i figured out that i had to make my return line to my oil tank about 3 inches longer so i maid a line (luckily a had the right size line and fittings) but you can get the right size line at most parts stores. and i hooked that line up and then i had to bend the line from the engine to the oil cooler about a half an inch or so and hooked that line up and now i have a oil cooler that is about twice the size of my old stock oil cooler
