Quick Heat Question.

[ojstinson]

It couldn't hurt to have an oil cooler to give you that extra edge under extreme conditions, is your engine fitted for one? Either way I don't think you'll have any problems.

Nope, mines a 95 model, no Oil Cooler....

I just figured with it being air cooled, and moving the exhaust cans right under the engine that it wouldn't be a bad idea to fit a heat shield but with the extra clearance I got by re-doing the exhaust I won't take the time to make and fit one. I also thought of making one not so much for it's functional aspect but more so for a complete, comprehensive, mechanical looking machine, it's all in the details for me, it has to be as this is "Just" a GS500, it's not defined by performance so I need to define it with attention to detail and cleanliness.

Excellent mod. What does the exhaust sound like?

No idea....Haven't started it up yet still a month or so away from completing this build. I will take a start up video and post it.
