Nice! When it rains it's water-cooled from the spray as well.
Probably comes from a trombone or trumpet supplier?

Surely a more extravagant version could be fitted to that RGS with the evil 6 pipes welded to each flank?!

According to Gianni Radin, the owner and former factory employee, this works great and still keeps the cilinder head in the air flow.

It says 350 on the side pannels, but I do seriously believe its a 500 engine.

Works great? Is Australia the only country in the world where there's loose objects (rocks, lost car parts, kangaroo skulls, etc) on the road? Despite fairly decent boots, I thought I'd broken my leg last week in the Kerry Valley when a ute coming the other way kicked up a rock that hit me on the shin. But I wouldn't know if an oil cooler like that had taken a hit until the engine started to seize.
That oil cooler is a disaster waiting to happen. There's a reason oil coolers are mounted high up (well, they used to be, anyway).

I holed the oil cooler on my 79 jota. 'Twas at night and lucky it was a full moon cause I noticed how shiny my boot was. cant recall how I re routed the hoses, but it got me home. Always looked at the Ducati low slung jobbies and thought they were trouble
 
I spent quite a while looking for the oil cooler on my Audi, I finally realised it was just a bit of pipe in front of the radiator!!!!
When I get stuck in traffic for a while the oil heats up and the oil pressure light comes on (it is a really old engine), it could be more effective if the bloody thing had fins.
 
I'm a littlebit disappointed. That device seems not to make moonshine. ;)

Some jap bikes has an oil filter made of very thin sheetmetal under the engine. One of my friends get a rock on it and leaked all the oil to the road. The filter was factory original.
