1980 GS1100 Oil Cooler Inquiry...
Has anyone seen an oil filter cover like this? Would this be more effective at cooling the bike vs using the ports in the crank case to hook up a cooler? It seemed to work well the way it is.. The bike is being rebuilt right now and I will be adding a slightly bigger oil cooler vs the era specific Derale oil cooler. Any thoughts would be appreciated.. Thanks

I had one like that but it had an opening on the outlet side to feed oil to the filter. What does the engine filter area look like?

I will post a pic when I can but the filter housing in the crank case appears to be unmodified. I'd have to take some temp readings from feed to return to get an accurate temperature drop.. I've seen other threads about cooler setups and the 1100 vs 1150 filter cover.. Never seen a cover like mine. Not sure if it's custom or efficient as other setups..

Gearhead13, did you end up running your cooler off of the filter cover? Or did you end up using the crank case? Do you have any pictures so share...?

Mine was plumbed like yours when I first got it. I found it hard to change the oil filter with the header and the oil lines in the way. So I blocked the holes in the cover and got those little black adapters to go in the ports on either side of the filter plate. Then -8 an lines to the cooler.
The most complete metric and BSP adapter selection in the world. More added every month. If you don't see it here look in the Brake Adapters section.
