radiator

Have just done an oil/filter change on my bike today and noticed that the radiator hoses look quite bulbous where they go onto the water pump. Hose still feels quite flexible, not brittle so I'm thinking it's like it from the factory. Is this normal or can I expect a problem in the not too...

Radiator leaking,,,, fixed Now at less than a year old and 4,200 miles, the top seam on my radiator has a leak!!!! I hope this is not indicative of times to come!! :mad: The top tank seam is seeping when cold just to the left of the fill cap. No it's not a loose cap. It's coming out of the...

I have decided to go for a custom made radiator. I really hate stock large and bulky radiator. Here in Italy they are asking for around 400-500 €. Is anyone made this work? If yes, photo please. I was thinking something trapezoidal shape, smaller at the base and larger on top or viceversa....:D

Posted this on .com site, thpught id do the same here - plenty of good blokes on both forums. Considering thinning that wide ugly radiator... Basically cutting along the lines of the 2 side covers so its flush with the engine, weld a couple of side plates to the cuts - from a quick look, there...

Hi is it possible to powdercoat rad grill?

As usual, the price is commensurate with the materials. I realized a substantial reduction is materials cost due to a reduction in the overall metals market. I was able to procure Carpenter Technologies Number 8 mirrir polished stainless sheet at a substantial reduction in cost...

Any good ideas on how to get rid of that awful vibration that comes from the radiator screen?

Greetings to all, This is my first post and sadly it is to ask if anyone has removed the radiator from an R3, and if so, is it a difficult proposition. It doesn't look like it would be hanging out there all by itself but I thought I would ask first before I tackled it. Had a very low speed...

Blew the radiator hose yesterday. Phone call the shop, none available in Australia ( 4 week wait on back order) OEM hose is taperd 24mm on one end 19mm at the other. Visit to local auto shop and found similar shaped 21mm hose. Made to fit a 1967-1973 Hillman Hunter, at least its British i guess...

I'll fess up, I went and put a Touring Insert on Flea-Bay this afternoon. I have a number of Radiator Inserts that have minor blemishes on them, blemishes that won't show up when the insert is installed on the bike but blemishes nonetheless. I'm not going to offer them on the website because...

As promised, I've reduced the pricing across the board on all the Flipmeister Signature Polished Stainless Steel Radiator Inserts. I have depleted my previous inventory and the new pricing reflects the lower cost of polished stainless. They were $149.00 USD, now...... All Inserts are now...

Guys, I'm thinking that the radiator sides and top pieces are plastic chrome... Anyone see any problems with scratching them with fine paper and spraying them flat black? I see no reason to spend good money to buy new black ones when a few coats will do the job. They don't seem to get hot=I...

Due to many requests, I'm bringing back the R3Classic Radiator Inserts in Polished, Number 8, domestic (Carpenter Technologies) Stainless Steel. I had a problem with a high rejection rate because of the way the 'Classic' script is positioned on the insert but after careful re-plotting of the...

Just installed a 25 inch clearview windshield with recurve but no air vent and it significantly reduced turbulent flow compared to the Roadster screen but it wasn't as good as I had expected. I have the lowers too. Looking at the radiator shroud I wondered if all that junk might be creating...

I have seen a few photos of this done and it is the look i want until I can justify fitting a slimmer radiator. The question is how do you paint chrome? The radiator shrouds are plastic and the bearclaw metal. I imagine the grill would be best powder coated. Thanks

Started making these end caps for the roc. I think they make it look more presentable . What do you think?

a little something for the front of the bike.

Has anyone put braided radiator hoses on their R3 standard? would really love some feed back:cool:

After joining recently I have tried the search and also tried just trawling through but I mist be doing something wrong. I am after a replacment chromed radiator surround. I can find links to black and carbon fiber ones but no chrome. Anyone have any ideas?

.... keeps on turning, long after the engine has been shut off:eek:. Watched the thing go on regardless for over 15 minutes. By then, the engine was almost cold. Only way to stop it is to disconnect the battery. This is happening to a friend's Rocket, every time the engine is switched off. Any...
