Here she is. Rode about 1200 Km last weekend, it works a treat.

For info [in case you also have another use for your spare oil cooler] a 1/4 BSP tap goes straight into the connections on the top enabling me to screw in two 1/4 BSP to hose brass elbows making the installation very easy.

I had to add the extra crash bas to support it and welded some slotted Dexion together to make the mounting bracket.

When I rode up north on my 650 Honda the principal reason it failed was that the bike as designed is under cooled.

So I grafted an XS1100 oil cooler on to the old girl. Looks the business.
