oil cooler

will a 750 oil cooler make a 600 run cooler

It's bigger so I would have to say yes..
Some 600's have the lower mounting tabs welded. Some (according to the fiche ) are bolted on..
That is the issue with fitting the 750 cooler.

not really an issue, cut off the bottom tabs and make sure the top bolts are tight.

Yeah I know but I'm not crazy about that idea...

Has this been tested at speeds in excess of 130mph?

[badkat]

would it make a diference

Yes.. If you can find the parts and mount it right, it's a good thing to do..

I work in a shop so if I had to cut the tabs off and weld them back thtas no problem

[jwonton]

more surface area=more cooling ability. from what i've read the 98+ have welded lower tabs. if you get a 750 cooler i have to think any place with a welder (exhaust shop?) would be able to weld the bottom tabs for cheap. also don't forget to add more oil when you re-fill the kat.

[badkat]

no I work at a body shop

There's two lower mounting methods for the 98+ :

1. Cut the existing tabs, grind flush, then move down the appropriate amount, grind off the powdercoat on the frame and the cut-off tab, and reweld. Then repowdercoat (the PIA part of the process).

OR

2. Build a bracket that bridges the gap between the existing tabs and where you want the new tabs to end up. I have some drawings around here for them and plan on making some in the next several months (or having some made) because I have a 750 cooler I want throw on my 600.

Make that 2 please! haha

What about the other idea up there, some microfiche's show the tabs as a bolt on piece, so why not order them, tap some holes in the frame, lock-tite bolt and go?

Thats a good idea. Not sure what that tubing is like so maybe throw a 'zert in there..

I have a pre 98 Kat 600 that has the pre98 750 cooler..and yes you need to get the bottom mounting brackets....luckily on the pre's they are bolt on..
