        There is also a version from topcat that allows for an oil cooler.

              I just got one from TC and I'm impressed with the workmanship. Gotta get a filter for it and high temp etching primer and paint and get it painted and then on it goes with the next oil change. Among other things I expect that it will make oil changes less messy, and with as many goldwings as there are out there I expect the filter for it will be around for a long time.

                I have one of the older versions of his SOFCA and I am having a heck of a time finding a filter that works without bottoming out on the nut. I am constantly leaking oil because of the problem. I think TC has changed them to account for this problem (I think he made the hole for the nut larger so that you do not need the washer and then the nut sits way lower). I am going to have to widen out the hole so I can ditch the washer.

                So as a heads up be careful about buying these from other members because you may have to deal with this problem.

                  You could be right Nathan. Seems like i remember something like that. Mine was purchased middle of this year, so if there was a correction made, mine probably has it. I think a note to TC might be appropriate for him to make sure.
