Installed the oil cooler yesterday and took her for two 30 mile rides today. Seems to be running cooler but no scientific data. The oil radiator gets hot so it must be working. Also had to add 200 cc of oil to bring it up to the line in the sight glass which I guess is the capacity of the cooler and hoses. No leaks so far.
The valve cover is not exactly the same size but no leaks.
Relocated the horn and use it's bolt to mount the cooler.
I'll ride her some more in the next few days to do some more testing but so far so good. Whether it is really needed or not needed is unknown.
Probably a scam from China. No way they can sell and ship a bike to the USA for $380. I bet they want Western Union or T/T. No recourse if you go that way. Lost money for sure.Quote:

you might get a bit confused why Mr Mubatu Goodfellow living in Nigeria is selling Chinese bikes but try to look past that as your saving so much cash

well the fact that it's hot is proof positive the concept is working, as u say how much or if its actually helping might be forever unproven.
but concider that heat is the enemy, the less the better.
if I every get my engine rebuilt I'm likely going to get one as well.

I'm not sure what the top one is but the bottom one is an actual radiator for a water cooled ATV.Quote:

So it's not impossible to get one for $380 or $420 as a sample price, right...?
If they accept credit cards or PayPal then I should try it, right...?
Contact DanDaMan with a PM. He is the expert on these choppers.Quote:

I don't want to shell out the $140+ for a carb from CCW, and their jets don't work on the Deni/Denki carb. Most of the rebuild kits I've seen don't have their pilot jets labeled, and can range from 38 and smaller.
You will most likely not be able to import one direct from China due to EPA/DOT regulations. I have a feeling that DOT certification is probably somewhat permanent due to a bike having all the legal parts and bits, but EPA needs to be renewed yearly if I am not mistaken. The initial certification is the 'bitch' and subsequent ones are merely updates, but if the company has not renewed certification for a couple years, you will not get one of these in the country. Samples cost more, too, from what info I have gleaned over the years trying to get different bikes (before the EPA started really cracking down) into the US.Quote:

Someone try this electric turbo on this engine yet...?
http://m.ebay.com/itm/301248197593
Electric turbo...
I'm starting to think these are real suppliers... http://www.ibestso.com/product_free_...roducts_id=191
http://m.alibaba.com/product/5568419...otorcycle.html
http://m.alibaba.com/trade/search?Se...r%20motorcycle
These bikes seem REALLY CHEAP tho, the price sounds ok to me... But then if they are THAT cheap then could they pass EPA standards...?Quote:
