Yes its an oil cooler. It is protected by a stone guard. It looks a bit of an add-on (and is, the earlier carb. version of the bike didn't have one). Its ugly IMO.LotusSevenMan wrote:What's the black box fitted low down at the front of the engine? Not an oil cooler surely?
Whatever it is it looks susceptible to fine stone peppering from the front wheel
Another bike to join the collection.

Great Bike
Had one on my dyno last year, what a gas... 2002 model
Only 75BHP but 60 Ft/lb and 53 Ft/LB at only 3000RPM
Reved to 6936 for max BHP and Max torque at 5382 rpm.
Lucky lucky man, and when you blip the throttle it rocks and I mean rocks....
I recon if you take off fast you will be in the oncoming lane before you know it :-)
