Mounting an 1150 oil cooler on a 1100E

I agree. Your point, although irrelevant, is correct.

This last pic gives hints of how the oil cooler is mounted, which I think is what we're looking for -- it appears to be hanging from a bracket bolted to the frame.

Was it a home brew bracket? How is it attached to the frame?

On the front of the GS frame there are two bolt hole's which on later bikes the horns are attached.

A bracket could be made to support the oil cooler and utilise these bolt holes.

I think on the Katans's Suzuki did exactly that.

As for cover debate/knicker in a twist/heated tempers/ every body has personal experience and opinion. PLEASE respect others as it's too easy to loose knowledge and good will.

Looking at the bike, the horn mounts seem to be the logical choice. I guess that brackets could be fabricated to suit.
I guess my major concern is the rubber cushioning. Suzi thought it important enough to spend money on it, so I think I should also.

The bracket came with the Derale oil cooler. I have some extra taps if anyone needs them.
