I got a small cooler to mount under the radiator, to fill that empty spot. Well turned out not fitting there, so had to move it up in front of the radiator instead. Oil viscosity for my bike is not an issue, due to I use Shell Rotella 5w-40 synthetic which I run year round. Oil temperatures are higher than coolant, due to several reasons two main ones are the friction, and higher boiling point. I'm also not worried about over cooling the oil, due to the size of the cooler. | I got a small cooler to mount under the radiator, to fill that empty spot.

To be honest the only determining factor was the size of cooler, I wanted it to fit in the gap under the radiator, but this one was just a little too big, although I'm going to take another look at it over the winter season. For the time being it's zip tied in front of the radiator to the screen. | |||
