I have a new project (besides my house) and it is a TX750 (yes I know grenade...) I was thinking of trying to combat the main culprit in the TX750 which is the Omni-phase cam that froths the oil at high rpm starving the top end of oil, my idea was to use a oil cooler radiator and come up with a way to feed the oil from the top down to lower end... and possibly a deeper sump... I know mikes has a nice radiator and I think someone has a setup that might help me with oil flow, and anyone with thoughts on the deep sump conversion would be excellent....

THe hottest place on these bikes when the are put to work seems to be the cylinders.....no oil cooler is going to help that........another catch 22........

any suggestions on what would? I know with the 650's using the 34's you had a trick with the needles but I just haven't seemed to find anyone that has fiddled with the TX750 enough to come out with a needle that might help that problem...
