    A Special Note about Email accounts!
    DO NOT SIGN UP USING hotmail, outlook, gmx, sbcglobal, att, bellsouth or email.com. They delete our forum signup emails.

    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.

The parts picture is highlighting a hole that has a bolt and rubber type washer on my bike, it is inside of the oil filter cavity. Does anyone know what the bolt and rubber grommet is for. The Oil Cooler?

I should have taken a picture before replacing the Oil filter cover.

Thanks,
 
Yes, that engine was designed for an oil cooler but was never offered. I purchased an 1150 cooler for my GS, made my own stainless steel lines, and installed the cooler using those two inlet/outlet holes. Looked very stock. Engine temps dropped way down; I was very pleased.
 
Yes that hole is for the oil cooler line. I highlighted the wrong hole. This is the correct highlighted area.

That is the current oil path to your filter. If you install a cooler, that hole needs to be restricted so oil flows to the cooler as well as the filter.

Thats what I was thinking. I did not install the Lockhart oil cooler my brother did. Every time I changed the filter I would wonder what the plug was for.

Thanks....koolaid_kid :clap:
