this project has ascinated me and inspied me to start digging out my own dr big project bike thats sat abandoned at the back of my shed for nearly 5 years now! as for the oil coolers, they arent really needed most of the time, i think they were added for the look more than anything else and perhaps more for the likelyhood of the bikes overheating in traffic rather than needing cooling when being pasted flat out down the motorway.
anyhow, theyre a stonking engine, and unless youve owned one, you wont believe how unlike a single their power delivery is. you cant plod these engines, they are designed to be pasted like a multi cylinder engine.
