Get a package of 5 or 10 pieces of sprinkler 1/4" splicers (black) dont get the brass to expensive and it makes no diff and a roll of the black 1/4 line all 3 of the lines that go over the cross member over the steering shaft vent them up ( if you want leave the radiator 1 down in case of an over heat it WILL splash you) I did the 2 (fan and differental and the radiator I left down but that is up to you) The K&n filter to a honda 400 at 05 fits perfect to the 1 1/2"pipe just put 2 SS screws 1 on each side to hold in place

If you use the abs flex pvc use them under the cut out because if you paint them I dont know why they stay sticky. so I did it over with pvc and that holds paint well.

I have yet to overheat or shutoff in water but I do take the radiator and the oil radiator apart to wash every ride I hate being the 1 slowing everyone down. Let me know how it goes (http://i185.photobucket.com/albums/x116/Gato717/IMG_0537.jpg) |
