Have you considered relocating the oil cooler? Many of the skid plates require relocation of the oil cooler to a vertical position at the side. I haven't done that to mine, but know it's a possibility. Touratech sells a relocation kit. Here's a link to the kit on their website. http://www.touratech-usa.com/Store/1...-V-Strom-DL650

Here's a pic of a modified oil cooler that's been relocated as I described.

Just thought it was bad engineering to have the oil cooler right behind the exhaust pipe. Seems that the cooler was taking in more heat than it was expelling.
