I am changing the oil cooler on my 1988 Hurricane, for that of a 1990 CBR 1000F model.
The only difference is, the '90 is a 5 rows oil cooler, while the '88 is only 4 rows.
Living in HOT Texas any little bit helps.
My bike runs fine, but it can go past the middle in the temp gauge sometimes.
I have replaced the coolant with a 50/50 mix and a bottle of Water Wetter for this Summer and will report back.
Once I install the cooler, I will take pictures to show how much it hangs past the front fairing and/or if I had to modify the mounting bracket.

Got the oil cooler from ebay for $19 and $15 shipping, looks almost new.
Very few fins bent, but easily can be straighten out.

Update:
I knew the oil cooler was going to need mounting modifications, after I saw the little space left by the original 4 rows cooler.
I will make one and report back.
In the meant time look at the size difference.

 

Having ridden only a few day this super hot Texas Summer, I am happy to inform that the oil cooler probably helped lowering the riding temps.
The needle doesn't get to the middle even after a good hot ride, it stays 2 needle width from it.
I know the temp gauge is for coolant, but having extra cooling effect from the bigger oil cooler and a little more oil capacity, it might have done the trick in addition to the coolant replacement.
Anyways, is all good and no leaks.

 

What mods did you have to make to the mountings?
Was that to get enough clearance to the front fender?
I tried the same swap, but the cooler was hanging too low, and I couldn't raise it without encountering the headlamp inside the fairing.

 

No mod or bracket, except for trimming the fairing on the inside. You can't see it and yes it comes down a little, but again you can't see it.

 

Yes all right, but seeing it is not a problem, the cooler touches the fender when braking hard or using the full travel of the front forks, and the last thing I want is slamming through the fender and mangling the cooler somewhere far from home.

 

Houston, you have a problem with your bike.
With that kind of braking, no one should be riding far from home or anywhere.
The cooler doesn't extend that far (1 additional row) to even hit the fender on a stoppie. AlI I can assure you is, that it doesn't hit even if you brake like a hooligan. But then again, I service my forks every 6K miles, plus I have upgraded springs and Gold Valves.

 

Well, I must admit I don't always brake like this, but with those speed bumps sprouting up everywhere, the suspension does get to work hard sometimes.
The fact that I still ride the same bike for over 30 years should tell you enough about maintenance, it doesn't look like new anymore but certainly rides better than when I bought it, and that after almost 200k miles (315k kilometers). But I think I found the cause of my problem, decades ago I heightened the rear and lowered the front to make the bike a bit more agile, and that 7 millimeter in front is just enough to let that longer cooler touch the fender. I'll have to modify the cooler mount just a little, as I want to keep that fork as it is.
