searched...can i add an R1 cooler to my stock single?

I'm looking at a dual setup from a stock R1, but the driver's side cooler is somewhat bent. I was wondering if i could just buy the lines and passenger's side cooler and hook it up to my existing driver's side single. I've done a search, but can't come up with anything on this specific topic.

Thanks.

Search more. But yes you can pipe in the dual setup. What is bent?, fins? an aviation cooler shop in Dallas/Fort worth area does a great overhaul job for a good price. Search!

That's good to hear.

The cooler looks like it's been 'squished'. It's a smooth dip where the top row is almost pushed down to the second row. The dip is only about 1/4 of the way across the top of the cooler. Similar condition for the bottom row. Don't know what happened to it, but if i can just get the passenger's side i (hopefully) can use my current driver's side cooler.

If i was going to spend the $$$ to buy it and then get it reconditioned i'd probably just go for an aftermarket setup. (That debate is on another thread. )

Yeah, but that's 150 on top of the ~350 to get em. That's getting pretty close to prices for completely new and "upgraded" kits.

Thanks for the info...makes me feel much better.
