      I've heard you can get the oil cooler to fit, but it can be tough getting the oil lines routed because of how the lines and pipes interfere with each other. I found that it was more trouble than worked for me at least.

        Tom if you can't get that oil cooler to work let me know. I'll be commuting on my mare and an oil cooler would be niiiiice to have during a hot Alabama summer.

          Them Sketti's are on their way up here. I wanted to ask questions and all that of the seller but I knew if I waited they would be gone. So I just pulled the trigger and hope they are ok. I guess I will know when they arrive. Sorry if I stepped on anyone's toes to get these.

            Hi Rasputin,
            Good score at $100. I hope they are in better shape than the pictures suggest. Rechromed they will make a museum piece
            wish i had noticed they were just across the lake from my place

              I plan to do ceramic coating on them and install them on my 81LH/Frankenbike. I figure if the sketti's are in good enough condition to do ceramic then I will be fine.
              The stock pipes I have are damaged as the bike has been down on the right side. Left stock pipe is fair, but without the right I have no pair.

                I actually have 2. Looked @ the barhopper & really looks like the cooler lines will fit. It's kinda a show off high performance look. Probly really don't need a cooler, but adds to the look.

                Jason: i'll send the 2nd cooler to you with the lites, as soon as i find it in the garage. Price: have to try to find what I paid 4 it. Way cheaper than new & all there.

                    I am so very happy with the sketti's. They arrived today and they are going to see the ceramic coating guy tomorrow. Bout a 2 hour trip one way but worth it. These are way better than the pictures, well the rust was for real. There are basically no dents except for where the kickstand has hit it and what appears to be a ding like one would get from a rock hitting the header pipe. The chrome parts where you can see them on the mufflers was kept up pretty well. The headers have a lot of rust.
                    The fellow only charged me $25USD for shipping which makes it $125 to my door. I am thinking that from what I have seen that this seller is a good guy and I would definetly do business with him again. Check out his other items.
                    The ceramic coating should be $200-$260. The fellow is normally closed saturdays but will open to meet me, cant beat that with a stick. I will wait till I see examples but I am thinking of the cera-chrome or the black. Sorry to all others who were interested but I wanted these so bad I would have hated myself if I did not bid.
                    I will take pics if I do not end up too many beers in before I do that
                    Oh yeah these are the megaphone type. The other sketti's I have are turnouts. I happen to like these better.

                                I get that you are talking about jardine pipes so let me rephrase my question. Why do you keep calling them that.
