This split to a parallel gallery that ran to the filter cover mating surface. The stock cover had a recess that allowed oil into the filter cavity. A non-recessed cover would block the gallery and force all oil through the cooler. The cooler return emptied directly into the filter cavity. Anyone with any experience with the GSX750 care to explain the chrome dome on the filter cover? It looks like it might house a plunger to force oil through the non-existent cooler, but I don't know that for a fact.

Can you explain a bit more?

You modify the housing of the switch to take oil that has passed through the switch and routing it through the cooler before returning it to the gallery.
