For posterity's sake, I had to edit my earlier posting about the Nighthawk's cooling system.  The adapter plate has a hole in it, which allows some oil to pass directly to the filter, without being cooled; it also mixes cooled oil with un-cooled oil, within the adapter.  This mixing is similar to what is done in the 900C's oil pan.

Piute, I am really looking forward to hearing how your Nighthawk adaptation pans out.  Glad to see you are installing an oil temperature gauge (before, and after, readings are da' bomb!)  -- it is the only way to really know what the cooler is doing for your engine...  Cheers!
