They look lovely.

And then you cover them up with a nice bellypan.

It has an extra row of cooling fins on it so lowers the oil temperature. Good for those who have Hi comp pistons or other mods that increase engine temperatures. :thumbup:

Not made afaik, so get your own made up.

Any company that makes hydraulic lines should be able to do it.

Just found this as my oil cooler pipes are disintegrating, would be interested in knowing what exactly would I have ask for at Pirtek to get hoses made up. Would I have to supply them with my pipes for measurements/adapting etc or as they have done this at least once before, would they be able to search their database?
It's not really feasible to remove the pipes off my bike at the moment. Also would a set off a 2002 Storm fit on a 1997 one?

Any help will be gratefully received. :D

Well as I like you guys I guess I'll give up one of my "secret" sources for VTR bits....... Now they will be expensive but what isn't for this bike anymore?

You can still get Mori and Agras rear-sets. Agras sprocket covers and many oil cooler options.
They did used to list the fitting in question also though they have changed the web site around a bit, though I would bet you could still get them if you sent an inquiry about them.
