Trying to locate where this oil cooler might have come off of?
It is 9.5 Wide 4 Tall by 1 inch thick. Has two tubes on its side
for connections by hose and clamp. It is used on currently a
VW powered Motorcycle and is located between the down tubes
of the frame. Here are some pic's. Any input on who made it
would be appreciated. Thanks!

Could be any one of 100 after market oil coolers...

Having searched here and Google images I never saw one like it.

Found something similar, Derale cooler 8000 performance series
is gonna be the closest.

Dale, Thanks for the google image tutorial, Never seen that one before.
That's a good one!

Looks like a cooler from a refrigerator or air conditioner.

If it's on a homemade motorcycle it probably was something the PO found laying around that was cheap or free.

Many times I find a GOOGLE Image search is easier to identify the part I am looking for and then chase it from image and webpage information (usually works) .... Many time it has been faster than "text" searches once you find proper "keywords"...

Can't leave the thread without an update.


Closest thing I could find. Its actually a trans cooler by Derale. It's the 8000 series 1 inch wider 1/4 in thinner than the one I was trying to duplicate. For this application should be just fine as thinner is better for fitment.

THANKS for all those that chimed in and offered advice!

Waddit look like!
