i had a dream last night about my ds. could you put the oil tank back were the air box is? that would open space for air to get to the radiaitor and put some weight were it should be,in the back.maybe mod quad or someone with a shop could make one and cut me a deal on one.

Oil starvation was burning up motors.

That was one expensive experiment. At least the company tested it and choose not to sell to the public, rather than sell a bad product to try to recover their money.

Not only that, but the oil tank is also an oil cooler, and the nostrils in your front plastic direct air right on it.

Trust me, the DS is very sensitive where the oil tank is mounted.
