"YES", and the magic word is "IMPROVISE" ...

Have a SPORSTER OIL COLLER with a "THERMOSTAT",
or did you miss that thought ???

XB oil cooler uses SAE 45 degree fittings.

Depends on the oil cooler - the later XB's used "jiffy-tite" fittings. Stick to the earlier XB setup, with -AN fittings, if you want / need to make custom hoses. -AN can be found at any speed shop.

Rat, as james said the XB cooler does not use -AN fittings. XB coolers use SAE 45 degree fittings.

like Jramsey said, they are 45 degree fittings. I wouldnt use XB lines, probably cheaper and easier to fab your own lines. I plumbed mine just like Jramsey did and it works great!

I do have a entire racing supply shop available to me so that won't be a problem. All the AN and braided I'll ever need!! It's actually a business. www.GRE6.com. He deals with a mostly circle track be he does have many other items that can apply to two wheelers.

Jramsey,
How do you have that cooler mounted? I've been planning to do something similar.
Thanks
