He sells an adapter plate that bolts onto filter cup assembly.
Also a good source for the $10 fuse block kit to replace the old glass fuses with modern spade fuses.
Just search member list to contact him directly. (or click on Greg's link above which I only saw just now)

Greg: I've got the factory oil cooler AND the vetter mount, cooler on outside of mount on my SG. Wonder why yours doesn't fit?Originally posted by BA80 View Post
Back to the original question in this thread: I don't see why an XS850 aftermarket cooler wouldn't fit an 1100. Same oil fiter. Might have to drill a couple holes in the mount. Factory Yamaha cooler might be a different story, as they weren't piped through the filter, rather through the engine lines.Tom Clisham

Yeah, Greg and Tom, I've got the vetter mount on my G too and the cooler fits, however, the plastic cowling over the cooler had some interference, so I took it off.Hi, my name is George & I'm a twisty addict!

Can someone show how/where the stock oil lines come from/go to on the engine? I would like to add a cooler as well, but don't want to add the sofca, so if someone has a stocker with a cooler if they could snap a pic or two? Thanks!BARE BONES CHOPPERS: If it don't make it go faster, you don't need it!

The stock unit is basically the same as the SOFCA. It is a plate that goes between the case and the filter cup, just thinner than the SOFCA.Originally posted by daveyg View PostNathan
