Just a Little update to my Project bike build. Got the time and parts to put an GPZ1100 oil cooler on to the bike.
I had a vague guess i had some heat problems (Detonation), so i bit the bullet did what i have should do some month before.
It was a quick and "use what you have laying around here" fabrication that need some later fine tuning.
Let the pics talk:

What size fittings did you use?

What kind of fittings you are asking about DoctoRot?
On the engine or oil cooler end?

Both sides? I have been meaning to do this on my kz1000

On the engine fitting OD: 3/8 " = 9,50 mm



On the oil cooler end you have to cut around the pressed fitting of the GPZ1100 UT oil cooler line because the pressed shell is hard solderd onto the fitting.

I got 1/2" ID fittings and drilled out the cooler inlets to 1/2". 3/8" is too small IMO.

Mama Kawa Heavy Industry had developed the oil cooler system with 3/8" oil fittings, so whats wrong to use it as it is?

Restriction of oil flow
