Oh dear, I feel another expensive and frivolous mod is beckoning.
And welcome, of course.
And your presentation is first class.

That style of oil cooler is standard to later model monsters

I have one going spare + hoses that came off the trike if you are interested?

Thanks for that, Gary.
Now I'm even more tempted to change mine, but I'm not sure that I could really justify the expense of such a mod since it would be purely for cosmetic reasons (I'm assuming the performance of both types is the same).
The roundy ones do look so much nicer though. I think I need to get a look at one in the flesh.
What sort of price would you be looking for ?
And do you know whether it would be a simple swap using my existing mountings and hoses (2000 M750) or would there be complications/extra expense ?

Not 100% sure it's a straight swap - but they are very similar.

Hoses are servicable but a bit crappy, so you may want to swap those anyway?

Cooler would be FOC as long as you pick up cost for P&P

Wow, Gary, thats jolly decent of you. Thanks.
Its probably sensible if I get a look at one in the flesh before I take up your offer, but if I could get back to you that would be great.
