Naw, l'm not opening that sukka up. It'll never run again. Maybe 20 years ago I would have taken the challenge on.

No, No, No. Don't delete 5th and 6 th gear. Just put a little sign down on the shifter. So when you're wound up in 4th, doing somewhere in the mid to high
80 mph range, you could look down at the sign ( but not for long, keep your eyes on the road ) and it could say something like " Maybe ", or ". Do you feel lucky today, punk". That way you could either back off, or maybe go for triple digits.

Making the top gears inaccessable is not an option. They have to be "optionally" available just in case. Ya never know when the road open up, the stars align, and sense goes out the window and ya just gotta see what happens.

On this exciting episode of stoopid we gonna make a tubing coupler/disconnect.
So the upper radiator mount needs to be robust enough to keep that hot water where it belongs, yet it has to be removable, just cuz.
Bolt together will be ugly or inadequite or both.
Heres a cool idea l stol... errr l mean designed.
Its purdy simple so just pics and you'll get it. If not maybe another hobby would be better for ya.

The dungeon slaves been busy with the radiator install.
poly bushings @ the bottom to reduce vibrations.



the upper mount looks like this.

 

[Whitetrashrocker]

Did the bike radiator(s) make the ride home? Or DOA.

 

[Master Hack]

One was smashed. The other was looking purdy used.

 

[panchothedog]

So the bike had two radiators? It seemed like the one you are installing is pretty large. But if it has to make up for two, makes sense.
