RE: EOT meter for OEM oil cooler

One more thing to keep in mind is the amount of weight the bike is carrying. You'll use quite a bit more fork travel when braking hard with a passenger or lots of gear on board.

I learned this the hard way years ago when I attached some clamps to the upper fork tubes as part of a fairing installation. I thought I'd tested it thoroughly and that the clamps were plenty high on the fork tubes. It worked fine for 2 yrs., until I loaded up the bike with camping gear for a 2 week road trip. The extra weight compressed the forks much further under heavy braking and the clamps ended up destroying my fork seals in short order.

I also destroyed a perfectly good pair of jeans Big Grin
