Cool Experts Race Oil Cooler Installation Issues...... Arrrgh

[Eric GSX1400K3]

Great result so far, hope it fits

I replaced my leaking unit with a Coolex, very happy with the product and went on very easily.

Triangular end tanks too, that removes the weak spot in the original design.

Hey all, just to keep you updated, after many phone calls and emails back and forth over the last few weeks, I have finally received a replacement 'standard' oil cooler from Coolex.   The product itself looks good and is significantly more robust than the Suzuki original. (see photo)   All the mountings and fittings appear to be in the right place.    It looks like it should fit straight in including the fan etc.   I'll get on to it on the weekend, let you know how I go, and post a few photos of the outcome.   Cheers Grae

Certainly looks far sturdier than the original. May I ask the price please 🙏

Chris earlier models had a problem leaking at flange (overtightening doesn't help).
I spoke to them before I purchased that's where I got the information.
Previously on this forum some have complained that the top gusset in front of the fan should be cut like original, in my opinion there is no need for that.
They send all over the world except Iran, Israel and Russia.

Surprised to see they're still the same price I paid over a decade ago for one very similar.

[Eric GSX1400K3]

These look the part, mines still original, but no signs of leaks or corrosion with our climate.

Just did a delivered price, they quote 125GBP for delivery to our little corner of the world. Comes in at just under 500GBP delivered.  Still, good to know there's a decent quality aftermarket unit for these coolers.

Would be great to see a pic of your install

No leaks in mine thank Buddha 🙏 this one's about 12-13 years fitted to my bike.
I've always had a protective steel cover fitted which I think not only protects from sticks and stones damaging the very fine structure and adds a lot of strength 💪

245+125=370 GBP about $763 AUD, I would have thought you would not have to pay VAT the Brits Tax.

[Tony Nitrous]

Uk 20% VAT shouldn't be charged in goods exported outside of the UK.

I was paying no import tax on stuff a while back, but now some imports up to Au$1000 can get the 10% GST added. 

I haven't been charged on recent UK or US parts.

[Eric GSX1400K3]

True, I had included VAT, which is not payable by us in Oz. 

[grog]

The charges add up if over $1000. I recently did exercise to get golf cart from China. Locally available $3750 set to go.$800 US in China. Sounded good, worked out costs, inc insurance,$3100.Thats plus wait time, worry time, will i get my product time.Just pay the local price was result.

Hey all, just remembered to post a pic of the final result with the replacement std Coolex Oil Cooler:
Thanks again for all your input!
cheers Grae

Looks so sturdy 👍
I'd personally still have a radiator guard on.
