HEL oil cooler + Akrapovic headers

[northern]

I'm thinking about getting HEL oil cooler, but it seems to me there could be an issues with oil lines, if bike have full Akra installed.
Searching internet pictures did not give me any clear answer... 

Does anyone have this combination on their bike and care to share some pics and experience? 

[seth]

I remember something about the oil lines not fitting between the exhaust downpipe due to them being wider .
On my aftermarket cooler I run the lines into the top of my cooler as I couldn't get the lines between my akroprovic down pipes.

Yes, this is  what I meant - I remember reading something and somewhere, but cant find any info (probably it was on old ORG  )

@seth - so, your solution is longer lines?

[seth]

Yes longer lines in to the top of the cooler .
You can see them in my pics
They run up the inside of the frame then to the top of the cooler .

there is HEL and Akra on a bike, but picture are very small to understand is lines original or custom...

[seth]

Not a HEL cooler but it just gives an idea .
Yes to akroprovic pipe
I'm not home but will take some better close up pics tomorrow when I am there.

Not a HEL cooler but same problems
This is my matt (kernadog) cooler  and I have an akroprovic system the hoses I had didn't fit the down pipes.
So I had longer hoses 24"or 61cm long with 90° bend on the end I to the top of the cooler. Both ends are female thread fitting .

[seth]

I've just spoken to Shaun at HEL and explained the problem you guys are having and told him how my hoses are routed and what fittings I have on my cooler and the length if my hoses .
He said he knows the problem but thinks you weren't asked which exhaust was fitted at time of ordering .
I'm going to look into thing and see if I can find fitting to make this work I will post here when I do .

Finally got a 4 pics added to my thread
Sorry it took so long

Seth, I am interested in the fitting that goes on the engine block in the last pic. Could you please say where you got it from and what the name/dimensions are?

[seth]

I got the hoses fittings and cooler from matt (kernodog)

This is the company the fitting came from

I haven't ordered yet - I'm collecting information, to prevent possible issues.
I will write email to HEL performance, asking do they have some custom solution for Akra system.

Thank you Seth. I'll take a look.
