Thanks for the info TRS !

very good info! Thanks! I may give this a try. I have a couple questions. First, is there a fitment issue if you only use the water\oil cooler without the adapter plate? and where did you tie the cooler in with the radiators?

Yes, the adapter plate was need to offset the (filter + cooler) assembly.  Without the offset the filter cannot be installed because the crank sensor get's in the way.

The oil cooler is on the Cooled Water supply line in the water pump discharge going to the heads. The solid tubing (normal supply line) had to be removed to make room for the preformed hoses.  I elected to cut the center bracket on the OEM Supply & Return lines so that I could continue to use the OEM return line from the heads going back toward the thermostat.

This conversion is not for the faint of heart.  And you need to be willing to tweak things to get it to fit.  Since I've installed it I've not had one issue or leak but the assembly is a tight fit.  The oil filter is easily accessible still so that is a good thing.

I did all this before running any of the tests... 

After testing my recommendation would be to remove the thermostat and forget about the Oil Cooler all together. Or consider adding a conventional air cooled oil cooler.  This way you do not need to mess with the supply and return water lines or the plumbing (preformed hoses) needed to incorporate the water oil cooler assembly. 

I'll leave my assembly in place because it does work and I have bragging rights but after collecting test data it was clear to me that the removal of the thermostat was the largest contributor to the cooling gains I saw.

Hope this helps..

One more thing... My install actually is a water cooled oil cooler + a billet air oil cooler that came with the adapter. I figured why not use both...

And...  If you want to gain the total benefit while the bike is not moving you should consider fooling the fans into running sooner using a resistor.  See Reply #7 on this thread.  Your fans might run more often but so what.  They will kick in at a lower water temp which will help a lot while riding at low speed, sitting still, or stopping to fuel up they may run the pump + fans and cool the engine during the pit stop.

Thanks for the info! I was thinking about trying it since I have an failing water pump and will be swapping it out soon. I figured maybe I'd try it out while I was there, BUT if i still have to run the adapter, I may as well install some regular style cooler. I did kinda like the fact that it could be mostly out of sight and i didn't have to find a place to stick a cooler.

I chose to use the billet cooler because I had it. You could just short curcuit the external cooler by drilling an internal bypass and just run the water cooled oil cooler. The water cooler does work well and likely much better than an air cooled unit.

If I didn’t ride in the 55*to 60* range,my season would be 2 months day riding only LOL. I am very interested in this though.

Hello friends,

I have the 2015 SG CVO with a new coolant pump. There is no thermostat like the old technology. Or does the new pump have these on the inside? Have you already done the oil cooler (billet cooler) conversion with a new pump?

[CVO Couple]

I did the water cooled oil cooler set up very similar to this and never had oil temp over 250.
I have enough parts to make a few extra kits if anyone is interested. It should fit a M8 also from the ones I’ve seen.

Hi,
What are the options for relocating the oil filter no oil cooler connection?
just want to hook up the billet water cooler. Is there a pure oil filter offset plate?

Thanks

[CVO Couple]

This goes in between the oil filter and the case.

Thanks CVO Couple,

I am a little confused! That was also my idea with closing the canals! I asked Jaggs if I could close the connection with blind screws.
The answer was "Our component is designed to interrupt the oil flow, take hot engine oil outside the engine, route it through and oil cooler, and return it to the engine. This is not a good idea to use our 4702 to simply move the oil filter. There are probably better ways to move the oil filter."
Apparently that's no problem. Did you install it with the blind screws and does it work like that?
I have another question, the screw and washer for the billet cooler, what kind is that? From which manufacturer?

Thanks

[CVO Couple]

I modified the bypass/thermostat passage in the adapter and the spud and washer are modified to hold the cooler to the adapter.
