we are having a baking summer?. i got a 1085 kit and it doesnt need a cooler, just keep an eye on the level and use decent oil

My 1100 survived 115+ last summer, sans oil cooler. Wasn't jetted for the pipe, either. Ran hot, but performance never changed.

If it's being offered for free, take it.
15 row may be overkill, esp. if you don't plan on a thermostat that will effectively bypass the cooler till needed. Go with a GS1150 (GS1100EF to you) size one....pretty compact, and does the job just fine.

you should be running 10/40 in a GS preferably synthetic or semi synthetic. 15/40 is way to heavy as the engines rely mainly on volume rather than pressure to lubricate the engine

will not do any harm, clutch will work better and engine will survive longer.

seems like the best engine builder in europe doesn't know what oil to put in his engines? who is this so called engine builder?

North American market Castrol is crap - way low on zinc and phosphorus. Might be okay for a car that has multiple cats, but bad for a motorcycle that runs the oil though the transmission gears.

Regarding this so called "best engine builder...", he don't know squat if he says synthetic oil is bad. I can sort of understand if he says to not use synthetic right away after an engine rebuild, but proclaiming synthetic bad is nonsense.
