Do you have any pics or specs for the pipe sleeve that you had made?

[jonny500]

i am still prefecting it. i had to cut the first 1 down to get clearance for the front wheel. basicaly the first design had a honda fitting 1 end and kwak fitting the other. i ordered the cr exhaust ring and did not like it much. it turned out that the kx manifold actually fits in side the cr manifold so the final design is a double ended kwak manifold using 4 kx o rings. the length is up to you mine is as long as my front wheel clearance will allow. please remember this is untested so far. if and when i perfect it the final design drawing will be posted for all, if you need more now i will give you what i have or if you can wait i should be able to say what will work

Thanks for the info! I can wait, I already have a Service Honda KX pipe but am looking for alternatives in case I smash the pipe.

bought some rads from ebay, they came today. not to bad i can make them good. i have covered them in another more relavant thread http://www.kxriders.com/forums/index.php/topic,8247.msg63380/topicseen.html#new

how thick are those radiator. what is the core size, width and height.

[jonny500]

by the core size do you mean the veins running up and down

[kaw rider]

yes, i would guess the core is around 1-1 1/4" thick.

[jonny500]

kaw rider, the new rad is w=4 1/4", h=8 5/8", d=1 5/8" . the stock 250 rad is w=4 1/4" h=8 5/8" w=1 1/4".
i have some stock 500 rads i can measure but im sure you have some too
i think the new ones are more than upto the job, do you think the will make the motor run too cool?, also the rad system on the new bike will be in parallel compared to series on the the stock 500, how do you think that will effect it.

[kaw rider]

thats around 72 sq.in. Get them up around 140 sq.in and 2" core and you will be good on a hot day. If you don't ride wide open all the time then you will be safe. For the price you cant go wrong.

[jonny500]

is that 140sq" on each rad or left and right together
