oil cooler for Nomads?

My thoughts, for what its worth.....this would be impractical. The engine is designed and set up to run at optimal temps via the fluid cooled system in place. You would increase your oil capacity and with all the drainage etc possibly not be able to use the existing, poorly designed, IMHO, site glass method to ensure proper oil level.

Any designed system would do you very little good unless you were moving and had air flow by the cooling fins unless you put an auxiliary fan on it........and you already have one of those to cool the fluid that keeps the bike (whole crankcase including oil) at optimal operating temp...so it's a wash.

I dont see it as practical or necessary...but that's me.
