Is anyone using an oil thermostat? Are they needed? If you are using one, how did you mount it?

Did the 83 Es have a factory cooler ? Just looking at an old pic of a buddy's 83 next to my 82.

Back to the original topic...we were having a conversation about this on our race cars. Talked to Setrab and they indicated there was no real pro/con in mounting it up, down, sideways or whatever.Comment

My cooler is mounted with the ports facing down. It has a built in thermostat that just bypasses the cooler till the oil reaches 170F. Rustybronco gave me an old Kerker cooler that has the therostat seperate that basically does the same thing.1983 GS 1100E w/ 1230 kit, .340 lift Web Cams, Ape heavy duty valve springs, 83 1100 head with 1.5mm oversized SS intake valves, 1150 crank, Vance and Hines 1150 SuperHub, Star Racing high volume oil pump gears, 36mm carebs Dynojet stage 3 jet kit, Posplayr's SSPB, Progressive rear shocks and fork springs, Dyna 2000, Dynatek green coils and Vance & Hines 4-1 exhaust.

Anyone know the metric size and thread pitch of the threaded holes in front of a 2V frame where you'd mount an oil cooler?
In other words, what size/thread pitch are the lower bolts shown in this pic?

I was wondering if it would matter one way or another if you put a cooler on? At least a stock motor? I can get a cooler from a 84 gs 700E would it do anything to help the engine on a stock 650L? What would I need besides the hoses and the cooler?
I was thinking about it when I seen it awhile back but it looks like it could be trouble hooking it up. I don't have a clue about differences in the engines.

Screws are 8M x 1.25
The lower mount holes are the same for the 850 and 1000, but the upper is slightly different.
This cooler is the smallest of the Earl's single row motorcycle coolers but it's pretty large for a putt putt like me. If anyone wants it shoot me a PM, it's going to waste.
