Hi all, i've been thinking of fitting an oil cooler to a 900.
Whats the easiest way to make the pick-ups or is there somewhere i could buy them (ready to bolt straight on)?

Thanks in advance freddy

buy the take-offs from Z1enterprises - much much cheaper !

I've got next to no engineering skills and I did the oil cooler on my Z1 for just over a £100 all in.

Fitted one to my A1 thou, for no other reason I liked the look.
Bought the take offs from Z1 enterprises, the cooler and fittings off ebay, used AN-8 fitting sizes.
Made an aluminium bracket for the cooler, tricky to get the right spot to clear the forks, tank and rev cable

I've never measured them, they came on the bike when I bought it, never intended to be used, but could not get the gixxer flatslides to run, so they ended up back on, after a good clean and setup it now runs sweet, but will probably replace with some 26mm slides and keep the CV's for my MkII.

Forgot to say, trying not to mark the anodized fittings was a t**t.
