It will be the same inside as the factory one. Passages are just routed to the outside.....

I was just wondering, since from the top view it appears that the journals connect from where the oil is feed in from the pump and where the oil is suppose to come out from the cooler, which would mean no flow. I'm sure it is routed correctly and that is not the case but I was just wondering.

one side pumps out goes thru cooler and back in the other side. just in and out.

I guess Ill just have to order one to find out? If it is much shorter it would make a major difference in the way I feel about my bike. Dropping the engine every time I need to adjust my valves doesn't cut it.
Update: Just ordered one will let you guys know how it fits.

I'm with JerryHawk250! I know the "new" generation is all about the "blacked-out" look, but I like to see the engine and parts! Don't get me wrong, I have a Harley and I try not to OC (Over Chrome) it.

As for the spacers, how about a grey that would match the forks and rear grab handles? Ok, I might have a little OCD! 🙃

AND...some braided stainless steel lines would look cool too! 👍

Update!! SHOULD have the oil cooler kits available by 2nd week of April......

And how much is it for the cooler kit with out those "custom" mounting brackets? The mounting brackets you made wont work on my China Bike so I will only want the oil cooler parts

Great! I will have one before the 90*+ weather hits this summer.

Waiting on the final price to see if I can ship in a smaller box and save some shipping money. There's supposed to be here by the end of next week and I will take lots of pictures. I will actually be removing my prototype on my bike and installing one of the new ones. Need to make sure everything is perfect before they go out. Just like the Clusters, I don't want any issues for anybody spending their hard-earned money. Price point will be right around $100. I know there's cheaper ones online but I'm having to pay a premium price for these because they are stacked plate cooler and not the cheap finned car radiator style coolers that will get dented up with rocks and are more difficult to clean out.

Hey MDStroup,
I grew up in northeastern NC and spent time in your part of Virginia. On to the important question: Which bike are you looking at? Why?

kirbo7106 · 03-30-2017, 10:53 AM

Hey mjstef,
Any updates? Enquirering minds want to know! Ok, just us Hawk owners want to know!

Thanks for all your hard work!

kohburn · 03-30-2017, 12:20 PM

can I reserve one in advance?

mjstef · 04-04-2017, 09:56 PM

Bit of a delay. During QC they found the mold was out of wack and a bunch didn't pass inspection. They have 5 that passed QC and another design that supposedly fits in place of the oil screen by the shifter instead of a replacement valve cover. Will be getting a sample of one of those as well. Mid next week the way it sounds....
