Frankly I'm surprised to went to that big bore and the rest of the mods without using a cooler. Even with the 1150 cooler, a 1260 I rode (not mine) put out significant amounts of heat.
Post here in the Parts Wanted section, and maybe someone will have the 1150 parts for sale.sigpic'85 GS1150 1428 14-1 200+hp Hang On

Got the plug in.
I got the plug instaled and found the passage ways I was looking for to confirm that my oil would still keep flowing. Since I have my oil pan removed I discovered that the two oval shaped depresions in the front of the cover are the passage ways I was looking for. Once the hole is pluged on the right side of the cover the oil is send through the right depresion in the oil pan. Next it goes through the cooler and back into the left deprsion of the oil pan. After that it feeds into the oil filter.
Knowing this I would suggest that if you ever instal a cooler and use a plug in the oil filter cover make sure you do your own oil changes. I wouldn't be surprized if some mechanic would throw away the plug. Also if you fab up an oil pan gasket for yourself make sure you keep the oval shaped holes at the front. they are critical for any 1100 or 1150 with a cooler to keep the oil flowing through the filter.
