Default Got a motard today

My 2nd one... 2003 CRF450R - tagged. It's not the prettiest bike I've ever seen, but it rips. Also passed inspection with michelin race tires on it .

Have a kickstand, black seat with hump, chain guide, hand guards and black side panels on the way. The trash bag is so it doesn't scuff the wall.

Yeah.. looking forward to getting all of the stuff, it'll look a lot better then. You know if you can run a fan on the stock electrical system? Or how to create a reservoir to collect and recycle coolant overflow?

I have UFO catch can for the radiator and a Redbull "shot" drink drilled out for the carb vent.

Does that UFO recycle the coolant or just catch it?

Catch only, there's a drain plug at the bottom.

Do they make a recycling coolant system on bikes? I'd think anything that heated when need venting.

I guess what happens is the radiator creates a vacuum when it cools back down and pulls the coolant back in. Gonna buy some engine ice tomorrow and get a bigger catch can. I got the redbull one you posted above, but that thing ain't gonna catch much coolant.. had my buddy pic one up on the way over.
