No eBay APP ID and/or Cert ID defined in Kunena configurationShipping to the US is probably high, but they look like really nice pieces.

Reading their Ebay listing its only 22.62USD's for standard shipping to the States!!!!
Super high quality made piece!!!!! Its German what else would you expect!!!
Same folks that brought you the 917, the 962, and the Tiger tank!!!!
Wonder if they make those oil cooler fittings for the early model Kz900/1000's???

they have a early model version. I wonder what the fitting size is. the stock fitting needs a 12mm ID. most i have seen are much smaller than that.

All the hose and hose ends I have ever seen used on Kz900/1000 oil coolers were -8 in size. Which should be 1/2 ID hose. That has been the size used on all the Superbikes since back in the day. I have never seen a Kz900/1000 use any hose bigger than a -8 hose and fittings going to a Earl's cooler.
The Kz1000S1 had an extra fitting screwed on to the Earl's cooler to reduce it down to -8 hose.

Interesting. I bought an adapter a little while back at thought I couldnt run it because the fittings were too small.

I bought one and it said 1/4" NPT. I was able to find 1/2" ID NPT fittings at the hardware store.
