    Does anyone know the size of the threads on the oil filter bolt. I'm going to try and make a modification so I can install a oil cooler with spin-on filter on my XJ 700 Maxim. I ride my bike every day so I can't tear it down to match up bolts. I want to get everything together first.

    If someone has a extra bolt they want to sell I would be happy to buy it. I mainly need it for sizing.

    Thanks in Advance.

    Here's the spec's you need.

    Bolt threads: M20 X 1.5

    Length of threaded area at end of bolt = 2.0 cm

    Bolt depth into threaded area with Filter Housing flush to mount and bolt tightened finger tight: 15.5 mm of the 20 mm cut at end of bolt.

    What else?

    Oh, yea ... search for Member: injuneer

    He's got what you need made-up!

    Thanks Rick,

    I've tried contacting him a couple of times here and on his web site and he hasn't responded.

    I'm going to see if I can make one myself from existing parts off other bikes. I just bought a adapter and cooler off a Honda CB750 for $25 that looks very similar to the to the Yamaha one and is apparently the right size in diameter.
