I used this oil cooler. do NOT cut the springs, they are for protecting the hoses.

you can use this one for the oil cooler plate for the head of the motor. DO NOT destroy the original gasket. Needs to be used for the new oil plate.

almost forgot;

the bolt closest to the spark plug on the plate ALSO holds the circular plate on the other side of the head inplace.
There is a LOCATING tab on that plate to keep it in place when you tighten down that one long bolt.
Torque all 3 bolts to 7 to 8 Ft Lbs. use a drop of blue lock tight on each one.

ALSO see this link to see my oil cooler instllation on my STOCK Vader.

Got the headlights retrofitted guys. Hope you like them! I swear I'm going to do a night ride video tonight to show you how they look. Get you the 20$ dremal set at Walmart so you can cut into the housing and everything else is just screws and the housing itself pops open easy since there is no silicone. I think it turned out great!



Dremal I used (just buy you some good cutting wheels for 5$): https://www.walmart.com/ip/Hyper-Tou...RoCm48QAvD_BwE

how is the heat build up on the actual LED light you installed in the Vaders headlight assembly?

I have the back cut out so the back of the housing actually is in the open, but I haven't felt ANY heat at all. Maybe just because of the LED or it's only 40w. I have to take it apart one more time to kinda of lower the beam some more. (It's a little too high, no biggie). Came out good. I might need a little 6 or 7 inch light bar below it to really make the light output shine brighter. I bought some clamps for my forks and I'm going to see how much space I have to work with after I get those in. Here are the ones I got:

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...?ie=UTF8&psc=1

I think our fork diameter is like 44mm or 1.7 inches so these should do since they are up to 2". This is going to look sick with a light bar right under the headlight housing if all goes well.

I have this light in mind: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07MYYCLHG...v_ov_lig_dp_it

when you take the headlight apart, can you please take a few pics to show us how you actually mounted up that light inside of it?

thanks

dont forget you can angle the headlight assembly by loosening up the SINGLE screw under the high beam on the headlight schroud.

Yeah, I maxed the bottom screw out already. I literally just cut a square so it would fit perfectly and it kinda sat snugly in place. When I do the re-adjustment tomorrow, I'll be sure to take some pictures of the process.

did you use the original throttle cable on your after market carb or a different one?

So I bought a little 6 dollar cable and MAN, it's PERFECT! No throttle play at all. So glad I pulled the trigger on that. Here is the link:

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Also here is the pictures of the install. I angled the light down a bit, put some self tapping screws to make sure it didn't move and boom, better light now! I am putting a light bar on today attached to the forks to just give it that amazing light I need on dirt roads and stuff.

Here is the install pictures:
