Default Got a motard today

My 2nd one... 2003 CRF450R - tagged. It's not the prettiest bike I've ever seen, but it rips. Also passed inspection with michelin race tires on it .

Have a kickstand, black seat with hump, chain guide, hand guards and black side panels on the way. The trash bag is so it doesn't scuff the wall.

Yeah.. looking forward to getting all of the stuff, it'll look a lot better then. You know if you can run a fan on the stock electrical system? Or how to create a reservoir to collect and recycle coolant overflow?

I have UFO catch can for the radiator and a Redbull "shot" drink drilled out for the carb vent.

I've heard of a few fan solutions for cooling. Most involve mounting a larger computer fan on the rad. If yours has mounting tabs you may be able to do what this guy did.

Actually running the fan depends on if you are running the stock electrical system which, as I understand it on the 450r, is basically nothing. Are the lights running off the stator (probably upgraded if so) or are they running off a total loss system (do you have to charge the battery)?

Does that UFO recycle the coolant or just catch it?

Catch only, there's a drain plug at the bottom.

Do they make a recycling coolant system on bikes? I'd think anything that heated when need venting.
