DK Customs Clean and Cool Oil Filter Relocation and Cooler Add.

[DK Custom Products]

Forgot to ask Kevin ... rather than bug them, I'll ask here ... you want the old "wrong" bracket back?Put it in the trash trailer ... it's in the box it came in so wouldn't be a big deal to get it back out. Let Me know ... guessing not.

No, we never want to see those again! We put all the ones we had here in the recycle bin. :xzqxz:

Thanks anyway. :laugh:

Kinda what I thought ... I entertained sending it back as a joke ... but ... my common sense said don't go there ... ... I'll bet you are looking at those like a bad penny ... never want to see them again.

No drips, nil runs, no errors.

So gorgeous today. Decided to go finish the install.

Just pushed the trike out of the garage, didn't start it. Wanted to keep most of the oil in the pan.

Worked out well. the trike was aimed down hill, so most of the oil just went in the pan. I gotta say, not nearly as much as I thought. Maybe like 1/2 a pint.

Put the oil filter adapter on with a fresh coat of oil on the seal. Hooked up the hoses, fired the FBG up. Shifted the infotainment system to oil pressure. Climbed right on up to around 30#. I don't remember it being that high.

Let it run while I checked for leaks, NADA.

Here's the Adapter from the side.



Here's the Adapter from the front.



Oil Pressure.



So, I went to the wand wash, sprayed the area where the filter always dribbles, then all the connections. While there I figured, what the hay, get the dust off.

Took it for a 38 mile round trip ride that included like 14 miles of I 70 at 75 mph.

When I got home, left it running and checked oil temp as read by my digital dipstick. After that kind of ride I would normally see like 240* ish. It read 215*. Granted, by the time I got cleaned up, tools put away it was like 57*, be interesting to see how it is when air temp get to 90+*.

When I got home, after checking the oil temp, I shut it down. Waited about 20 minutes, checked torque on everything. Also checked oil level. It was just at the hi marked before the install, now just below, not to the first line on the digital thing, so didn't even add any (I got carried away when I did the last oil change and was planing to use the pump I attach to the drill to lower it a touch, no need now).

So, I will see how I like it when it gets warm, but, I'm loving it so far. Think I might get a Chrome Water Pump Cover, ya know, since the oil filter won't p$$ on it anymore ...

PS. If I was to do this install again, I think I would assemble the oil filter relocater, and the cooler w/the bracket, and before I mounted them, I would do the filter adapter. Got a little tight in there. Then do the cooler, then the filter relocater. Probably took a couple minutes extra the way I did it, but less than and hour to hook up the adapter, clean up and test for leaks.
