Got the Radiator Fixed up and Plumbed Last night. If any one out there is interested get you a YZ 85 Radiator cut the back mount off and this things goes right on. You dont even have to change any of the water necks they are perfect fit. You will have two fill caps or you have it blanked off that is really the only mod.

I used a 2002 Cr 250 air boot. I have to say its a little tricky and I will probably fix a couple things on it as time goes on. I saw in one post on this forum were a guy bought a service honda Kx and said that the bolt on the air boot rubbed the shock, and after just getting mine on there I can see were if your not real carefull it can happen I just happened to have some real nice slim head bolts that used and it should be good. But I have say that it clears the shock good and lines up just about perfect.
