I have Jardines on the Fire Dragon and they do not interfere with my oil cooler in any way. Where did you have yours mounted??The Old Tamer

If there are more than three bolts holding it on there, it is most likely a very important part! -
I think it depends on the type of oil cooler adaptor plate. So that is the real question!Originally posted by Dragon Tamer View PostNathan

Heck, I could make one of them in about 30 minutes. If I had one on there I sure would not take it off. I love mine, even in the cold weather I have not seen a problem and during the summer the Fire Dragon runs a hundred degrees or so cooler than the Little Dragon which still does not have one on it (due purely to sloth on the part of the owner).The Old Tamer

It was not the cooler, but the lines. Didn't feel like engineering a new oil line system to get around the spaghetti pipes to get up to the cooler with the fairing and all, and while it may make it run cooler, I don't find it running hot enough to bother with. Of course, at the time I didn't know about the SOFCA from TC, but at this point I have things pretty much finalized the way I want them, and there just isn't anywhere for the thing to go on there. Actually DGXSER has one that looks like it might fit better on mine, but changing to the SOFCA at this point ain't in the budget, so more important thing like a seat cover for this stupid custom seat.Originally posted by Dragon Tamer View Post
SWMBO has pretty much vetoed anything else but maint, paint and body items for the near future. I'll get more budget in the future, but there are other things that have to be taken care of first unless the bike is actually broken.
(ok, gotta go break something 
(where's trbig when yah need him? 
)).
