I have a genuine R1 oil pan for sale. This is a spare I've had on the shelf "forever". I thought I'd get it out into circulation! It looks like this R1 oil pan had some "body work" done on the bottom years ago. There are some dents here and there. All of the original R1 oil baffles are in place. Sold "as-is", since I've never mounted or used it. The price is $500, plus the shipping. Thanks for looking. John

This is a complete, original R1 oil pan set-up. It includes the oil pan, crankcase vent tube and attachment bracket, and the separate, additional oil baffle that bolts on a rearward main bearing cap. This R1 oil pan has a few dents here and there, but is in overall good condition. Was painted gloss black by a prior owner years ago. Sold in "as-is" condition, since I've never had the occasion to install this oil pan on one of my engines. The price for all items shown and described is $775, plus shipping. Thanks for taking a look. John NOTE: I'll also be posting a different R1 oil pan-only for sale. Just the R1 pan, without the vent tube an separate oil baffle.
