SO I got bored at work and drew this, its based off of some pictures Steve sent me he found. Now I just need to slap some dimensions on it and I'll post them on the website under How To's...

Sorry for the quality, the only way I know how to make it so ya'll can all view my .dwg is to export to a .jpg and it gets grainy in the process.

spin that view and show front and rear view?

 

[Polaris425]

I dont have that much time left at work......... It's not a 3d model just a section view. I rekon I can make a 3D model though, or draw the other views. Just dont expect them by 5pm..

 

[Yesterday]

no hurry. I feel like a few of us on here are all thinkin about/plannin this at the same time, so it may help. I'm hopin to start buildin the brackets for mine next week

 

[Polaris425]

3D of the brackets... I'm faster than I thought... I guess drawing in 3D is like riding a bike.... :rockn:

 

[w8tnonu22]

You guys are something else man...That's nice work. :rockn:

 

[phreebsd]

[AUbruterider]

I dont think you need it really, the radiator is going to act as the same. I dunno would just have to put it together and see how stiff it was.

Same thing I thought. If it's good and tight, there shouldnt be a problem with it wobblin' side to side. Who know's though, til it's all assembled

 

[phreebsd]

i'll be doing this THIS COMING WEEKEnd!

one mine we used 2 cross peices and welded angle iron on top of the square tubing this is done so the radiator kinda floats inside the frame I kinda get alittle wild every once and awhile when the frame is on the front it should protect the radiator if i lay it over if anyone has any ? give me a shout

i just cut the stock brackets off the bumper for the bottom taps and welded them to the rack. then welded some bars goin up wit the ends flattened and bent to the angle of the radiator for the top mount.

Hmmm, got me thinking again, looks pretty simple to do

 

[Mud Narc]

I dont have a cross member on mine and it does not move at all. I used two L brackets that I bought at Lowes and just bent the angles I needed and it works fine.

 

[phreebsd]

i relocated my radiator today.

here's the brackets we made today

I'll have a full writeup in the kawasaki how-to area shortly.

 

[BEASTBRUTE]

hey phreebsd were you having any overheating problems before you did the radiator?

 

[phreebsd]

yep. when i would hop in the bogs then hit the trails it would overheat.

 

[BEASTBRUTE]

yeah that happend to me the first week i had my lift and 30'' on. alot more stress

 

[08Bruteon30's]

i dont think its as much stress as it is it takes a grain of sand to clog the stock rad since the fins are so close together
