Maybe not, but there are those that will pay a bit extra to buy from a US source, and also support somebody who is offering these services to this little world. I know I am one of those people. I trust you and paypal a lot more than an international site that I can barely tell if I am ordering the right things from. Honestly, the only difference between what I would like and what is offered with the full system is the larger oil cooler, but I know a few ways around that (E350 16 passenger vans lol)

Like Megadan said. Most people would be willing to pay a little more just for the fact that they could get it quicker form a US distributor and have support just like your digital clusters. Besides I think your stack plate cooler is a better cooler than the one I have. I should of waited till you got yours in and bought from you but I got impatient with myself lol.

FYI for those that choose to go with the one I have. Plan on waiting about 2 1/2 weeks for it and ordering from a china site is not easy. It took me hours just to figure out which one to order because the translation form Chinese to English is awful. I actually ordered the wrong one and had to cancel and reorder. When ordering from taobao.com you will need to set up an account with taobaotrends.com which is the safest way to buy from taobao. If I had to do it again it will be through someone like you Matt.

Got my cooler yesterday, Matt. Thanks for the lightening fast shipping and awesome product, as usual. It appears to be very well made. I'll hopefully be mounting it in the next week.

And lots of pictures.

I have every intention....but I don't remember how high my gun goes. I'll have to check it out. Been a long time since I've played with it.
Either way, having a cooler should provides cooler oil than not having one.

2lz has run out of neighbors that he can fix and fiddle with their bikes so he had to find another project

Looking at the oil screen pickup type of oil cooler it appears there is negative pressure in the system. Oil gets sucked from the sump, through the hose, cooler, hose, then to the oil pump where it is pumped through the engine. Is that correct? If so, you wouldn't want to have leak in the system or the pump would be pumping air instead of oil. You may never see the leak because the negative pressure would prevent oil from leaking out.

I went with the valve cover type for the Rhino.

I have yet to mount the one I got.....and I keep thinking it may do me more justice on the Rhino also. It always is in first gear at low speeds, while the TT I bought it for moves down the road.
I got the valve cover version also. I just didn't want the hoses hanging that low, especially if I put it on the Rhino. I drag it through a lot of underbrush and rocks.

My Rhino engine got hot enough to melt the sole of my shoe on the clutch cover while doing a steep 2000' climb in 1st gear on a hot day. The engine didn't seem to mind but that's pretty darn hot. The motorcycle engine never works that hard at such a low speed. Might mount a muffin fan on the oil cooler with a bi-metal disk switch to turn it on when needed.

I'm thinking about putting a fan on my cooler as well for when i'm doing low speed trail riding. I know I have a couple of them in my shed. It's just a matter of finding them in all my parts bins.

Found a couple 12V muffin fans in my electronics junk drawer. 3.8 watts each and they fit perfectly, attached to the oil cooler protector screen. Think I'll mount the cooler up under the left front fender so it doesn't block air flow to the cylinder head.
