I've been thinking a lot about upgrading my Rebel and was wondering if its possible to install an external oil filter and an oil cooler on a 125 or 250. I'd love to see how it looks in practice, does anyone have photos of this modification? Any tips or guidance would be really appreciated..
 
I've seen a few builds with external filters and coolers, but they're pretty rare on the 125s and 250s since the bikes don't really run hot enough to need them.
You'd be looking at a custom job for sure, and you'd need to tap into the oil lines and find a place to mount a small filter and cooler, which is tough on these bikes.
Try looking for someone who's done an engine refresh or performance mods.
You might be able to get some ideas on how they managed the oil lines.
Good luck!
