    Seca 550 oil cooler mod?

    Does anyone have any info on adapting an oil cooler from another XJ/FJ etc bike to fit a Seca 550? Something that would be bolt-on, preferably.

    550 seca oil cooler for sale

    I saw that earlier. Looks like a home-made POS. I would sooner spring for a good aftermarket cooler and adapt it.
