John i hapened to notice u smoke non-filtered cigarettes lol what kindbdo u smoke...if that was here it would have to be good ole' John Players!..the olny way to smoke one in a paper!
I have my oil cooler from the 80's in a box in the garage. You've reminded me to put it back on (extra oil). Nice job. You've got the upgrade pump which will help moving the oil. I'm still using the stock. I've just started my break-in (waited until weather cooled). Thanks for the help. Thanks for bringing me on the ride past Buttertubs. Scary bump there near the end but we held on like a champs! Cheers.
Nice job there John. hey ill bet you got a little inspired perhaps with the Metisse Triumphs at the scramble. can i count you in for the next Dakar 2012? ; )
Hi J Nice neat installation If it doesn't cool with the airflow the extra quart or so of oil circulating around the motor will help keep the plot happy on longer runs. Are you finished running in the motor yet after the big rebuild? It sounded a bit like it on your short run. Cheers Mate Dave
Great Vid again John - I would also be inetersted in fitting an oil cooler to m y T140E when you find out waht it came off of then please let me know .
good work again thank you for sharing, have collected an oil cooler to do what you did.. my Triumph will appreciate the extra oil.

Hi Dave :-) thanks! it sticks out a bit so I reckon it'll work and as you say the extra oil will help.
I have got about 400 mile on it upto now so 4000rpm is good for me,
I'll get another 2-300 mile on it this weekend if all goes well.
The ride bit at the end of vid was a bit of a run before! I did the rebuild, I just thought I would use up the time.

Yet another great vid John!
I love the idea of the socket and extension bar in the vise to bend the pipes :)
Out of interest, do you know what bike the oil cooler came from?
All the best

Great vid once again..
How much more oil does it now hold? Any intention to weld fitings to your frame for it?

@sacheus
Thanks sacheus :-)
fitting it has given me about an extra pint of oil,
no I will keep it clipped to the frame then it is all reversible.
