READ THE DESCRIPTION FOR THE DETAILS!!
First thing I need to explain is that this oil cooler kit is NOT designed for the Monkey! This kit is for the Honda MSX/Grom, but TB Parts asked me to try it out on the Monkey and see how/if it would work on the bike. This is my process and experience with the install.
The biggest roadblock was the bracket. On the Grom, it put the cooler in front of the head which is fine on the Grom, but the Monkey front fender would have hit the cooler in that position. I probably could have made the bracket work in its original form turned to where the cooler was below the head, but I wanted the cooler tucked under the tank to look more integrated to the engine. This involved minor alterations to the bracket, which I explain and show.
I honestly don't know if the cooler will function as it should in this position, but I'll do a follow up video testing the performance of the cooler. I wasn't a fan of the channeled head stud to provide the oil flow to the cooler and am not sure how much pressure is pushed through. I also don't like how the oil fitting bolt sticks out towards the front tire. I can just see it getting hit by something, however I put the bike through a week of hell in Upstate NY on rocky trails and sticks, and it never failed, so that really wasn't a problem.
Stay tuned for the follow-up on this.
