    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

Earls Oil Cooler - 2 Defective?

Hey all,

I just went through my second earls oil cooler. Each had less than 100 miles before it started leaking oil from the cooler rows. Are these things not suitable for oil cooling? This is the one I have: http://www.summitracing.com/parts/ear-21900aerl . How is everyone mounting these to a gs1100 frame? I made a special bracket, but maybe that's causing the problem. My bracket just secures the top of the radiator and bolts it to the frame.

You can kind of see how it is bolted on here:

Flip it so that the fittings are on the bottom and brace the cooler at the top and the bottom.
 
I read to keep the lines upright if possible, that way it holds more oil...

The bike power wheelies in 1st without the nitrous, it's a 60 shot and I haven't used it yet. It has a 44T rear sprocket and a 530 chain. It's also very loud, I welded up a hollow megaphone exhaust; I tell people it sounds like a ****ed off bobcat.
