Oil cooler on an '80 750?

The 1100/1150 cover thing on works on bikes that are plumbed for it. Mine doesn't have feeds behind the cover like the 1100's do.

I always consider volume important due to temperature. It's not so important due to need of lubrication...look at things like wheel bearings. They see a lot of use without much in the way of lubrication. Engines produce a lot more heat, though, so the same doesn't quite apply. If you don't have enough oil moving over the moving parts, they'll heat up and begin to cook what is there which causes all kinds of other problems. I base my ideas of this on my experience with turbochargers. High oil pressure motors have issues with custom turbo setups because if you plumb a line to them that provides no restriction it can pop the shaft seals out, but if you plumb in too much restriction the thing cooks itself.

Ultimately there will be an 8v 750 motor in this bike...with the fancy schmansy 850cc setup. In the mean time, though, it'd be nice the have a proper cooler for this one.
 
Kinda ****es me off...I installed my temp sensor in the port on the oil filter cover and ran bike but temp never registered. I had to extend the wires...I may have botched it but I have resistance at the contacts on the connector. Oh well...I guess I'll wait and see what happens.

Gonna be a trick getting that 8v motor in that frame. They are wholey different. Id say it would be easier the other way around. The 16v 750 motor is slightly smaller than the 8ver and as such the basket and mounts are smaller/closer together as well. Not saying it cant be done, just saying it will be a chore.
 
well finally got my new sensor location to work and she runs 190~195*f down the highway and running around town yesterday, with lots of idling at red lights back to back, she only got up to about 220*f. A little warmer than I would like but it eases my mind to work on my charging system.
