Can i replace the ratiators on my 99 VFR 800 with a radiator from another model place it between the forks and engine instead of being on the side?
I am not using the ones on my 2000 which will be a direct bolt on for you, and everything works. PM me if you wanna talk. Otherwise, I do not know about putting another radiator on the forks. Ive been told that this bike has cooling problems as it is with the two rads and a puller fan.
No they are fine. I just dont like the way the bike looks when its naked with the radators on the side.
Oh, see I didn't know you had the bike naked. It would be ludicrous to try and front mount a rad with the fairings on. Buuutt, the side mounted radiators rely on the fairings to pull air through them and the bike tends to run hot without the fairings so front mounting a radiator would probably be a good project. Finding the right radiator and getting it mounted is going to have to be something you will have to spend a good bit of time on, as I don't know of anyone on here who as ever done it. Good luck with it.
Is this a bit too naked for you? Think it might look a bit odd, and you still gonna have a reservoir? The engine will be more exposed, and if its like mine, it looks ugly. Im thinking about pulling the rest of the frame and cleaning up the block and valve covers.
I am keeping the reservoir but i am going to try and move it so that it is out of the way. As for the radiators i guess i am just going to have to do some trial and error.
