I need to mount two of those to my bike. Eat your heart out James Bond.

There are 4 available treaded holes...
how hard can it be to come up with something that
would work.... pretty easy I would have thought..

the 2 side holes with the pneumatic snap lock fittings look
like 1/8BSP thread to me.. so theres are fitting of any type
you can imagine available for that thread..

I have no doubt that it will work. I think it might be overkill for a daily driver but could be helpful for extreme condition when off road trail riding. Thanks for the link.

you don't need them..
most jap bikes of this size only have a liter of oil
or less in most cases...
they have no issues.. with or with out a oil cooler..

That is my take on the whole system. An extra half a liter isn't really going to make much of a difference in the long run. Plus it adds complexity to a critical system. I will leave well enough alone.

That cooler should work as long as you have a place to mount it. That cooler is bigger than the i am using and the one I'm using just fits under the tank plastic.

Is the 56ml or 85ml the one we need? I figured bigger was better and clicked 125

The 1st one you linked will have the right adapter. It will work. Just Don't know where you where planning to mount the cooler. You may have more room on the storm to mount it in front of the engine than the Hawk has.

Megadan · 01-31-2019, 09:28 PM

The first one linked will work, but the cooler will need to be mounted to the down tube. Nothing necessarily wrong with that other than the front fender will block some airflow to it and you will likely need to re-route the clutch cable a tiny bit.

If you don't mind spending 20 bucks or so on a new front fender like this one https://www.aliexpress.com/item/Off-...244719396.html

That would open up some airflow to the cooler.

ChipToothy · 01-31-2019, 11:04 PM

Ok and thanks again guys

. I ordered the big silver one, free 2 day shipping is too good a deal to resist vs the Tao Tao offerings.

I saw pics with them across the forks and on the down tube, I figure it's only 4.3--4.5 inches wide so it will stick somewhere, when it's 100f this July the 69 clams will be worth it no matter where it fits.
