Japan manufactured the Katana until 2000. There appears to be parts on the later bikes that would be an excellent upgrade to my 82 Kat. In particular I am trying to find the oil cooler shown on the Yoshimura custom Katana that have on their web-site. http://www.yoshimura-jp.com/en/compl...35r/index.html This cooler fits exactly where the fake cooler cover is located on the standard 82 Gs1000SZ. Yoshi says it is an OEM cooler. How do I order one from Suzuki Japan?

Ummmm... through Yoshimura US? That's where I'd start.
There was someone from Japan on this forum a while back, but I haven't seen a posting for a while. If we can find a GS rider living in or visiting Japan who understands both English and Japanese, they might be able to help out.

Yoshi DOES NOT say it is genuine, They say it is "Original" which means custom made. The oil cooler off an 1150 is the easiest "bolt-on" answer, or take a tape measure to a wrecker/breaker.junkyard/scrapyard and start measuring auto trans coolers up, find the size you need, have lines made up and swap in an 1150 oil filter cover.

I think Dink is correct...they use the word 'original' to describe a lot of the trick special parts (swing-arm, triple clamps, hand bent exhaust system etc). Come to think of it, the parts on that bike easily exceed the $35,000 asking price....also just noticed the weight..around 450lbs, with 150 bhp\\
