Do you mean the chunky one at the top right hand side of the radiator is a bit short? have any of you other guys had a problem with that?? Cheers, Chris No its the thin long one. Had to re-rout as original is cabled tied to the chunky one. Daz

Daz Ok, I see that Cai's doesn't look quite as tight as yours and he has it coming down behind the other pipe at the carb end, maybe that'll leave it a bit more slack... Chris

ChrisYou could always do what i did by mistake & use it as the resorvoir overflow instead.Still looks good.I would say that though wouldnt i How did you get on with the chunky one above it that goes to the filler spout.....i would have rather stormed a german foxhole than try that again ......the filler end was tricky to squeeze up enough & get purchase with the clip, i kept tightening the clip on the soft bit just below.the fairing was always in the way too.

As I took off the original I simply lined it up the same but put clip half wa down pipe. I did this after fixing other end to radiator. I Had problems with the small hoses to radiator so I took it off fixed one hoes to radiator and other to bike then its a push on. Fixed the hose to the small metal pipe (one that is shown to haave broke in Cia photo) Had Bro to help with this part. I also drained the reserviour by disconecting the hose at the radiator side as this stops it pissing all over the bike. Daz
When draining I usually ease off the lower of the two pipes on the lower left hand side of the bike before they connect in to the block. Since its one of the lowest points you should get all the fluid out, I just take the cap off the filler to let air in. Obviously some pipes will still contain some fluid
Noggy, I simply traced where the pipe went to from the reservoir and disconnected it and threaded it back through the bike and drained. I did that much I could have got it wrong on the earlier post.Their is also a plastic clip on the frame it ran through which I could not get back on so I used a tie to secure it in place after refitting. So if you can do not pull the clip out if you can thread it through. I am unsure if its possible.Daz

Of course i would've done it that way myself but i was too much of a gimp to dare move stuff outta situ at that stage. plus i didnt have a clue what i was doing anyway......i reckon if id fallen over on that day right into a pile o shit i woulda come out smellin of roses.I thank the baby jesus!!!!!!!!
The brain only kicks in once a day so that was me buggered after that one Daz
Got mine finished today! Also changed the gold wheel tape to red to try and get a theme going, completely gutted though as my old man managed to snap the lower left pipe off the radiator! Tried using evo-stik liquid metal an thought if saved it but after ten minutes of running it it popped back off! Any ideas? Don't really want the extra expense of a new rad!

It's one of the best bonding agents out there. But it needs about 6 hours to bond, so I would recommend that you leave it bond overnight.

So I'm going to pick that up today and use it as a temp untill I can get my hands on a decent one as not sure if I'd want to rely on a bonded joint when blitzing about on it,Cheers for the jb weld idea
I like how you also blamed yur dad.......nice move ha ha
