Hi Guys
I am showing up as a brand new member although I joined a long time ago but no record of it it seems. I was doing some research on the net and came across an article on the forum so decided to get back in.
I have an 82 KZ1100 spectre of origin. THese days is customized to now having a 76 Z900 front end with new billet triple trees, 70's instruments and spoked front wheel with analogue speed cable etc. Looks and rides beautifully.
I noticed in research that these engines also were made with an oil cooler. (why some and not all !!) doesn;t make too much sense to me - but the engine pan is where it all comes from and research suggest that simply swapping over the engine bottom pan is whats needed.
Has anyone bothered to upgrade their KZ1100 to run an oil cooler? If so - did it make any noticeable difference? What else was needed other than replacing the pan and buying a cooler unit? Was it worth it?
Regards
Greg
