Oil Cooler Continued

Posted on November 8, 2011August 2, 2012 by Jared Yates

I added the first layer of superfil on the windshield fairing, and another layer on the intake scoop. It will take several layers and lots of sanding to make them look reasonable.

The oil cooler support will attach at the crankcase bolt just above the number 2 cylinder. I removed the original case bolt and added a longer version, and used the torque wrench to tighten the nut.

I welded one of the ends of the oil cooler brace, and also welded a bit more on the number 2 exhaust pipe. I added the fittings to the oil cooler too:

While I was there I did a little deburring on the number 2 cylinder baffle.
