Now that we are building a F600 MC formula car for SCCA road racing we are having a hard time finding several components:
This is for a Honda 2005 CBR600 RR -
1. Remote oil filter kit
2. Oil cooler radiator
3. Electric fuel pump

Any help will be much appreciated

I don't know that any companies sell these parts for this application directly.

I think you could find each on your list by studying google for bikes that comes stock with these parts. I know a YZF600 has an oil to water cooler integrated into the oil filter mount. Not sure if its the right size or not for a CBR600 but it might solve issue 1 and 2 in one shot depending on if the remote filter mount is for packaging or just a way to plumb to the cooler.

you might also look for an aftermarket cooler like from the company below.

I'd get a stock CBR600 fuel pump if you are running stock fuel injection or possibly one for a larger fuel injected bike (CBR929, GSX-R750 etc). Summit and CV products carry just about any possible aftermarket pump, but they're all overkill for a 120hp engine. I've heard a 86-89 Ford F150 pump is an external design and cheap.

If you want an internal pump, I'd get the cheapest in cell one you can find at autozone. Try a 1992-2000 F150 fuel pump.

I found both for less then $60.

You probably don't need a oil cooler.

I am told that you definitely DO need an oil cooler.
SCCA races are typically 30 minutes in length and our top end speeds are 130+ mph and typical ambient temperaturs are 80+ degrees; this along with the fact that the MC drivetrain will be totally enclosed in bodywork with no cooling air flow requires the need for an oil cooler.
We want a remote oil filter kit because the filter is right next to the exhaust headers and it is a whole lot easier to change the filter if it is mounted somewhere else.

These are good sources, please keep them coming, all are very much appreciated.

TIA,
Jim

All,
After much searching, we have found all the items - two from Summit Racing and one from the Motorcycle Store.
Thanks for the help.
Back to readying the car for a race at Road Atlanta, July 17-19.
