radiator

1st .) I'm looking for a radiator guard similar to the one in this ebay listing. Louisiana roads are AWFUL, and i need whatever protection i can get. I'm looking for something un obtrusive that will do a good job. 2nd .) Does anyone know where i can find the radiator side covers that are...

After doing a search (advanced) this is the thread I found w/the useful info: http://www.vmaxforum.net/showthread.php?t=16260&highlight=radiator It appears KJ had the # 1st, then 'std354,' then 'dannymax' contributed. Now the tribulations: I tried Auto Zone and Advance Auto, Bennett Auto...

I haven't seen a thread about these since our shipment came in to Kyle so here's how mine came together... Prez gets the big thanks on these. It had to be a Royal PITA for him to get these finalized with the shops he had doing the work screwing up and all. Prez came through and I owe him a...

Anyone know about any custom radiators being built. I mean really nice radiators for a big bore V-max with a good looking light weight gravel guard. Stock radiator is supposed to be good enough for a big bore, but mounting and side covers leave something to be desired. There are a lot of cheesey...

hi, just put together my vmax after a year of disassembly for the dreaded 2nd gear rebuilt. just started her up and i'm leaking fluid from the radiator on/off drain tube. the leak is at the end where the tube bends into the engine. is there a gasket or o-ring there that i need to change...

was messing with bike today still wondering about the gas spitting out, and checked my radiator reservoir and found it had oil in it, :bang head:, any ideas thanks

Is there a good way to find a leak in the radiator? I have it off the bike now and what to find and fix the leak. Can i plug it up fill it with water and shoot some air into it to find the leak or can this damage somthing? Thanks.

gonna flush my radiator soon, i hear most of you guys use vinegar with distilled water, sounds like a plan. Picked up 3 gallons of distilled water, and going to do 1 flush with the vinegar water then 1 more with regular distilled. for the vinegar flush, what type of vinegar do you use and...

[/IMG] (sorry for the big pix, how do i post thumbnails?) I found a radiator that I like(not too flashy or expensive) installed it, then discovered that the fork tubes contact it when turned all the way. Does anyone else's do that? It seem like they all would if they go straight across...

Hi guys. Im in the need of some goof advice here... I have a leak on my stock radiator and im gonna get that fixed but in the process to find another one i got across with an opportunity to fit a R1 curved one... The question is... Is it possible? I like the curved ones and if the fix on my...

I mean coolant reservoir cap...

How important are they? I've been running my bike around without the side covers on and it doesn't seem to overheat unless it's real hot out (95*+) and I get caught up in traffic. Once the temp goes up near the first hot mark by the red, it won't come back down once I get moving again. I...

Yes I might get in trouble for posting this twice but.... Anyways I was thinking of mounting 2 5" radiator fans instead of the OEM. The OEM is only 6". It would cover more of the core. Reason I am considering is much of my commute is through traffic at slow speeds. Here is a link to the...

I noticed a question on the yahoo list regarding radiator mounting and now its got me thinking There are four radiator mounts. Two short, two long. As sitting on the bike, do the long mounts go on the left or the right? I'm thinking I may have put one of each on each side.

I am going to have a custom radiator built for my bike. Just wondering if anyone else wanted to get it on this as well. There is strength in numbers, lower prices. Not sure on the price yet but I am guessing $300-$500, but that is probably high. I am going to ship the guy an old radiator and...

Does anybody have a stock right side radiator cover for sale, in nice condition?

Does anyone know where to get new ones?(reflectors in the shrouds) My project bike has a dud one which needs replacing. I have checked bikebandit but they don't seem to list them as a separate item. Anyone know of any places? Even tried Egay but there was a pair of complete shrouds which went...

Does anybody have a radiator that they want to sell?

Did a search and couldn't find anything so... is it okay to use radiator flush in the cooling system when doing a flush, or are you just supposed to use water only? The flush that I got says it's okay to use with aluminum, but I don't know about everything else it contacts in the cooling...
