well here's the last images i'll put up of the oil cooler and piping fitted,once the bike is road worthy again i'll come back and tell you how it goes with the fairings on but if it's anything like it is now without the fairings i'll be very very impressed.
from the out side it looks the same as every other VFR
looking down near the water pump cover you can see the MKII barb and how the pipe may rest against the inside of the bodywork it's not kinked in any way.
with the fairings off you can see the pipes and cooler in all it's glory
the pipe looping over the engine cover was only done because the CBR900 heat exchanger used had one pipe facing straight out and the other coming out before bending 90*,as seen here on this picture.
i'm sure there are other honda heat exchangers out there that have the inlet and outlets side by side or closer together but to be honest as long as it works i wasn't that fussed that the pipe looped over the cover.
the pipes out of the water pump cover may look as if they loop out and may cause issues fitting bodywork but i've tried to show in these pictures it's more a trick of the eye and it does stick out further than the engine cover itself.
so here it is fitted and working,as i said i'll get the new headbearings fitted friday and the bike back saturday morning,the panels fitted then a run about with the panels on to see how it'll work and how hot it'll get with these on
i will continue to look for a small fan to fit to the bottom rad incase traffic gets heavy and the bike sits for a long time slowly heating up but i'll see how quickly it heats and how bad the problem is before i search for the fan.
i hope this is of some use to someone on the forum and if anybody decides to fit this to their bike and are looking any help drop me a mail and i'll tell you what i did to get this far
