82 xj750 oil cooler??

ive seen almost every thread on the mods you guys have made and im in awe of how much knowledge you guys have i have had this bike for a while and razz1969 helped me clean the carbs out he is an awesome guy! i would like to know where i can get an oil cooler that would work with this bike with Houston traffic i want to ease some of that heat from my bike i see where the mount holes are but dont see where to attatch lines please guide me xj gurus

 

There is a bike salvage yard somewhere off Red Bluff road that had a couple of XJ750's with the coolers still attached. Not sure where in Houston you are, but that would at least be a starting point.

 

Bigshankhank i just google map it could it be Houston Cycle Salvage?
3317 Red Bluff Road
Pasadena, TX 77503
i work off 45 and fuqua doesnt look far ill check them out thank!!
ive looked everywhere in my bike but dont see how it is attached?

 

If you can't get the 750 specific oil cooler, you can fit the oil cooler from the Seca turbo. Aftermarket coolers show up on E-Bay from time to time (sometimes they are NOS). There are some other methods as well, but it takes some work gathering all the pieces and having lines made.

 

k-moe thanks for the reply i just called the cycle yard that Bigshankhank suggested they said they have a 750 seca oil cooler with lines for $120 does that sound about right? and where do the lines attach on to the bike

 

i still have not figured how to post the pics but i have some under my profile if yall want to take a look

 

Kee-rap, they were going to sell me that complete engine with carbs for $250, they must have raised the price since two people asked about it in the last six months. :lol:

 

oh wow Bigshankhank i would rather have taken the whole engine for 250 thats not bad

 

You need the cooler, the lines, and the adaptor (which attaches between the sump and the oil filter housing. $150 is too much in my opinion unless it has everything required to install it on the bike (including the special fitting for the adapter plate). I got the Turbo Seca cooler, along with all of the fittings and the adapter, for $50 shipped.

 

The XJ650 Turbo oil cooler will require the fabrication of a special mounting bracket to "lower" the cooler in relation to the frame. The original XJ650 (non-turbo) and XJ750 oil coolers are quite a bit shorter than the turbo cooler, and, thus the hose length will be off, too..........

 

K-moe I agree 150 is way too much for my pocket I guess I will have to search for it till the right price comes along if any of you guys hear of one going for cheap the whole assembly that I would need could yall please let me know?

 

Either that, or IIRC RickCoMatic fashioned a bracket to relocate the horns... which which are conveniently mounted where the cooler wants to sit. Now that I think about it, I believe he said he moved the horns to the rear of the bike.

I've got a Turbo cooler, but haven't bolted it on. There's something odd with my header pipes, because I can't put the adapter plate on and mount the existing oil filter setup. It'll have to wait until I a) get around to doing something with it, and b) figure out how to deal with mounting the cooler.
