The oil cooler. Now it looks a bit like a front mount intercooler hehehe



Of course, soon i'm going to have a real front mount intercooler right above it, but i have to get the engine first....

Nice job man! I know what a pain it is to clean those suckers up... I got lazy and did a half *** job on mine, and mine was even out of the car at the time .

Because the differense in size is very negligable for the amount of work to custom fit one. The SE Oil cooler is fine, and even bigger than the 3rd gen ones.

Update on the TII: I'm re-packaging the bike to be sent today, should have the dough for it soon!!!

I just did it in the car, didnt take it out or antyhign. Just ubolt it, and you can move it around enough to get it from all angles. Its a ****** bitch anyways, tho, my neck still has a crick in it. I'll take more pictures today if you like.
