Can someone please let me know who else makes oil coolers.



I know kitaco and someone else makes none billet ones, and then i have seen the Takegawa billet oil cooler. But i have seen others and i am trying to figure out who else makes a billet oil cooler.



Which one would you rather use, and do they help?

When you say get the radiator style rather than the billet, do you mean more like the kitaco one compared to the two brothers? Because the two brothers has the billet piece on the bottom, but it still has the radiator part as well. I guess im just kind of confused on the difference between billet and radiator style.

I used an oil cooler off of an Xtreme Pro Stock 125. I used the oil line bolts that come off of the cover and put them where my stock oil line was. And then I used 2 piston wristpins to space it off the frame from where my stock airbox was.

Billet style means it's constructed from (probably 2) pieces of solid metal. In the case of a cooler like this you take a flat plate of aluminum and cut out a snaked path on the face, then cut out the air breather holes. Then take another plate and attatch it to the top of the cut plate to give you a solid unit.



it's incredibly strong, has great marketing gimmick but cools fairly poorly.



The traditional style is a radiator style, where the oil is typically fed into a tank at the top and through a series of straight tubes to the tank at the bottom. It's not as strong but has much better cooling capability due to way more surface area (more tubes and more attached fins).
