Ive never noticed those jolt drinks before,but the bottle looks the same as the big Rockstar cans with the half turn alloy cap.
Might be easier to find one of them??

[Gitzy]

Ahhhh Rockstar you say...

Or just turn it around if you have a bike that looks like a mandarin.[xx(]

$10 drink bottle from K mart or something. rip the nipple out of it and its the perfect size to fit the hose nice n snug in there.
I cut the bottom of the hose so it has basically a cm removed up the middle so it can touch the bottom of the can, or the sides and it will still draw fluid up. Also on the back of it drilled a hole and fit a 90 degree brass fitting so if there is too much pressure it sprays down, not up into my face or all over my paint.
I never seem to have issues with the cooling I think the bottle only gets hot from sitting so close to the engine.
Stuck it on there with one big ass hose clamp. bottom rests on something on the engine

I did this, but it's jammed inside the right wing of the Gixxer's tail, so it's not taking up any storage space under there. And I also sat another hose just inside the opening and ran it down the fuel overflows.

Just about every pic the round bottle looks out of place to some degree , what about a triangular or rectangular tank that mounts on the back of the rad header tank and fills in the gap to the frame , rounded corners, similar shape to the end of the radiator so it blends in ..
the only place a round looks like it might blend in would be piggybacked on the fork near the guard rear mount, and i'm not even sure that wouldn't look odd too

[wackyrider]

I like that idea Booster. Might have a go to see what that would look like

Weasel Left his stubbie cooler behind last weekend so it's now got a new home.

I had mine "fully floating" behind the cylinders sitting on top of the gearbox out of view.

[el sammo]

not very bling but i use baby bottles on the track and stunt bikes, there high temp rated and clear with measurements on the side too and super cheap haha

[oldskool]

Coolant is for cars!

[Gsxar]

I struggled with what to use on the 11 for ages, then had to worry about a bottle for the 1000!! I think they look ugly and generally far to big & bulky looking for the bike :(

Decided to see how a hidden one would work out & had one made for the 1000 it’s tucked right in and pretty unnoticeable me thinks. I wondered if it would be to hot near the motor but so far so good :D
