To be honest, I don‘t even notice the oil cooler cover and I look at the engine a lot. Just so many other parts of the bike to see and appreciate, even stock. I guess it’s all in the eye of the beholder.

I can't stop staring at that oil cooler radiator.

Its like a big black mole with long hairs growing out of it....... on the chin of a super model's absolutely perfect flawless face.

I've always felt the same way about the Indian headdress emblem on the front fender of Indian bikes...:rolleyes:

Standing by for incoming... :whistle:

Remember"Feelings are just that"Not right or wrong,good or bad.Just feelings.

Now when you believe something,it surpasses all logic and reason...
So,how do you feel about this?

I think this should be in the seat swap thread.

Just for the record it looks as tho Indian has some better passengers seat accessories. Looks expensive tho.
 
Nice BMW combo: R18 and a Z8. Hopefully, the R18 will follow a similar course…. Initially not very well received, and now some are going for over $200,000.
 
Here's one found on a Craigslist for sale in Eastern NC

Another custom bike......with a OEM oil radiator cover......as usual.

How do these custom builders not see that oil cooler as an eye sore ! ? ! ?

Thank you Harley V Rod for showing the world how to hide a radiator !!

Possibly this builder should have spent less time manufacturing the spider web over the handle bars and instead invested more time on that oil cooler !! IMO

someone, someone, please design a better oil cooler cover !! anyone ? anyone ? Bueller ? Bueller ?

Love the bike. Nice combination of both sharp and soft lines.
 
The example of the R18 shows how easy it is to change the design and style of the rear part of a motorcycle. Now it is more classic and without plastic
😉

OEM vs HOLAN:
- licence plate holder: plastic vs stainless steel
- license plate light: large in a large plastic case vs small hidden under the fender
- turn signals: new design vs classic
- reflector: large vs small
- SET total: plastic attached to the motorcycle vs metal, being a part of it
