Is there a shorter oil filter you could use from another bike?

Check out the HRC manuals here http://www.400greybike.com/docs.htm but its just a sandwich plate that sits between the block and the oil filter that has a inlet and a outlet which connects to inlet and outlets on the water pump cover that your also need to mod.

Or, as I did, you need a MOCAL sandwich plate and run another separate air to oil rad.

Thanks guys! I may consider doing it. I must do a build thread myself as I'm rebuilding my rvf from more or less scratch. Just currently halted till I have the money to powdercoat my frame and dymags

If you read through my post you'll see its not really any use for a road bike, on track where your constantly moving so the rads can keep cool is where it should be and even then there's no point in your rads a wrecked

I must admit ive only fitted it as my trackbike has the UK spec oil pump so i'll be fitting the UK spec cooler now instead of this, seemed a shame to waste it so it went on the road bike. I'll see how it goes, i cant fit a fan anyway because of the front pipes so i guess were see just how good these chinese rads are.

I have found some 4" fans ive considered fitting to the top rad, made by SPAL and look of decent quality but will 1 4" fan on the top rad be enough? there is room for 2 if you nudge the rad forward a bit.
