I agree. One way is correct according to Suzuki engineers - using the built-in valleys and tapped holes. I just purchased OEM banjo bolts and crush washers, made my own stainless steel lines, and I was GTG.
The other way is to jury rig it and make changing the oil a PITA, plus it looks cludged. Your call. I decided to go with the Suzuki engineers' plan. But what do I know?
And thanks for showing the 1150 restricted oil cover vs. the 1100 open oil cover. I could not find the pics when I searched.

I've changed my link. This mod is so easy I am tempted to buy and drill a rubber plug and sell my (now) pricey 1150 cover.Speaking of right under the nose...I posted this same link a week ago.

You make it sound like a modded 1150 cover with a couple npt taps took an act of genius and a weeks worth of intense labor? My mod was simple, quick and effective so why all your sarcastic "reinventing the wheel" bs ?

The oil galley plugs are just below the filter cover. Why tap into the cover?

Actually they are to the left and right of the cover, near the bottom, but I agree, why? It is already built into the engine cases. And the OEM banjo bolts and crush washers are still available, so you can connect to any oil cooler (and any lines) that suits your fancy.
I have seen a pristine 1100E with the cover mod. I was stunned. It may work, but why???

The 1150 cover is modded from the 1100 cover. Why are you attempting to bypass the OEM design of using built-in oil valleys and oil routing? The 1150 cover allows the stock 1100E routing to work as designed. I am using a stock 1150 cover, my own SS lines (the ones sold me leaked like a sieve so I was forced to make my own) and a factory 1150 cooler. Following this factory design, any cooler could be made to function correctly if the correct lines were fashioned.
I suggest you are attempting to reinvent the wheel, and I can't understand why.

when you put the oil cooler on do you add any extra oil or just go by the site glass?

Because at the time I did the mod there was no conclusive info if there were banjo to hose fitting adaptors available that would properly work using the galley plugs. Cripes, what a riot having to listen to all the keyboard garage mechanics BS critisizm for taking the initive to do a functional mod "slightly different"

All's I did was maintain the oil level to the very top of the sight glass, never had an issue. My Lockhart cooler actually had an internal thermostat so most of the time my oil flow was blocked anyway and not circulating.
