Hi Ive just done a radiator replacement on my 99 cbr600f. I noticed you appear to be missing the rubber heat shield that sits between the radiator & the cylinder head/barrels. I absolutely love this series. It has helped me no end with various projects on my bike. It really gave me the confidence to just get stuck in. Many thanks.
@@SimonTarr-l2x , yesI was aware of the missing rubber sheild, it doesn’t seem to affect the running temperature at all so I didn’t bother to get one. Thanks for your kind comment, that was the main objective of the series, to give others the confidence to have a go☺️.
1. Thanks mate. 2. What, the V-Strom? 3. It’s pretty stable on the centre stand on my ramp. But i do strap it down if I’m doing anything that needs a bit more force etc.
Thanks pal. I used some aluminium flat bar 15mm x 3mm thick . Then just bent it into shape and once drilled and tapped with the correct thread I gave it a good spray coating of Hammerite paint. I’ll be honest, I did have to make the bracket a couple of times to get it right, but it’s nice and sturdy.
Great job mate. Grits from Poland.
Thanks mate, I appreciate your support 👍

2 yes😂😂
Hi there, very nice job, just want to know which site you ordered the new radiator from?
Hi, thanks. I ordered the radiator from eBay. It was a used one but in pretty good condition which is quite rare I think.
What did you use to create your own lower bracket? Nice work too man thanks for making this video!
Thanks pal.

@@spencer2237 I cut some metal from an old wheel barrow, drilled some holes and bent it in a vice so it fits perfect. Haha
Did you find the paint effects performance? And what paint did you use and apply it with? (Brush it spray can) Cheers 👍🏻
As far as I can tell, the paint did not affect the performance. I think I used Hammerite smooth satin black paint in an aerosol.
