    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...

  • Returning Visitors

    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.

Fabbed this up for PJ's oil cooler for his GS 1000 a few weeks back, if anyone is interested in one let me know. I can pretty much do them in any size or shape. They can be mounted with zip ties or pressed between the factory hardware like this one.

That looks fantastic! When it's time to install an oil cooler, you'll get my business. Mounting hardware is exactly how I'd like to do it.

Can I ask where you got the brackets? Did you paint the perforated metal yourself, or did it come like that?

The cooler is not mine, but the brackets came with the cooler. I believe it is AN Plumbing brand. I have the perforated metal in bulk, it comes milled smooth, it is primed and then painted with two coats of engine enamel. I also have the edging in bulk.
 
Hey Joe, Id like to have one of those for a stock 1150 cooler set up. You need pics or dimensions or anything? And how much would it run?
 
The cooler and hardware is by Setrab, purchased from anplumbing.com
 
Pretty slick there Joe.

I don't know how long it took me to straighten out the fragile cooler fins on my cooler. In doing so it did make me think of those times riding down the road, and you see that piece of "pea gravel" bouncing towards you in slow-mo. :eek:

Bumble bees and cicadas.........................

I know where a many have hit.

Looks like good insurance to me. :)
