ABSTRACT:
An oil cooling device for a motorcycle engine operating by convection heat transfer with air outside the device. A fin arrangement may be included to enhance the rate of heat exchange. The device conforms to forward portions of the motorcycle frame. The location of the device allows air needed to cool the engine to flow by the device uninhibited. This location is also unobtrusive and thus does not detract from the motorcycle's overall appearance. The oil cooling device is activated by a thermovalve which opens whenever a chosen temperature range is attained. This device could be incorporated into a motorcycle at manufacture or be configured for addition to a motorcycle to improve oil cooling as an auxiliary oil cooler.
