i need the diamensions of the curvy rad u get on the later 90's gixers
......i have a plan.... and would it work on its side ?

[fimpBIKES]

i could have measured you one, but mines kinda mangled now


are you talking about the ones that taper off towards the bottom?

[Jockney Rebel]

nah the gixer one s that are curved i wanna see if i can mount one on the triumph sideways on , get rid of the stock one and hide the oil cooler behind it

[03gixxerpilot]

hey mate i have an 03 rad here if you think it will be close enought i will measuer it for you,

[Jockney Rebel]

ta clive as long as its the curved type mate

[03gixxerpilot]

measurments are as follows

width is 460mm aprox +-5mm
hight is 330mm from the top of the top mount to the bottom of the bottom moutunts
hight is 240mm with out the mounts
thickness of curve (ie from the front out side of the rad to the back of the center of the rad) is 130mm the thickness of the core is 25mm

if you need more info let me know and i will do my best to help you out.

cheers Clive

a top rad off a TLR would be cool cos its nice and skinny (for what i think your up to...)

[Jockney Rebel]

ta gix for the diam.
and fimp i wanna do something similar to that pic of a triple that large posted a while back

[fimpBIKES]

yeah thats what i figured

i would definitely check out a upper rad off a TLR then!

[Jockney Rebel]

will do mate uv got me thinkin now ..also if a car can have its trans cooler integrated into its rad why cant a bikes oil cooler be like that
..answers on a postcard to.....

[Weaselman]

if this is for the bike im thinking of you sure you wont have cooling problems?

Electric water pump perhaps?

[Jockney Rebel]

i dont think so.. im sure my pump is driven ...its on the l/h side just in front of the sprocket
i might have to R.T.F.M.

[fimpBIKES]

im talking with Racerads atm about a custom 40mm rad
i'll let you know if it costs rediculous amounts just in case your interested ;)

[Jockney Rebel]

ta fimp while yer at it askem why we cant have a combined oilcooler /rad ala car ones

[fimpBIKES]

im sure that anything is possible, AT A PRICE [XX(]



hey, i have a spare lower loop thingy off a TLR (it goes between the engineblock and the oil filter, and flows rad coolant through a ring sorta thing)
if that fit on could you then just do without an oil cooler?

[Jockney Rebel]

i think i know what u mean ..the filter screws into it sounds good except my oilfilter is sunk in behind the clutch on the back of the sump
