heres some pics of the cylinder im converting

ok fins ground down and cleaned up.cut a 40" by 1 13/16 piece 1/8" thick aluminum.still need to grind around the one stud casting that attaches to one of the fins behind the intake flange then i can fit up the piece i cut.also picked up a used rad from an 07 yzf quad off of ebay for 48.00 which i thought was a great deal.also picked up almost all the parts for the top end minus the head gasket(babbits online had none left).so ill try service honda next hope they have it.

TRX450R radiator and fan?

Are you going to use a water pump?

Bob

yes im going to run a pump.lookin at the bosch pumps on ebay.waitin to find a good deal.

question whats the vent coming off the fan used for.

to cool the motor (( Internal Combustion Engine ? ))???

Are sure you're not referring to the power cord?

If it's the vents around the fan that you're talking about, that's where the air is drawn through to the radiator.

Please tell me I'm not stating the obvious.


Does anything here answer your question? If not I'm sure someone can.

on the back of the fan itself.theres a fitting for a small hose or tube.have no clue what its for.

more pics of cylinder.not the greatest gettin dark

Hello, that is a vent whole to cool the fan motor (( Internal Combustion Engine ? )) itself like turbo said. It probably has a hose connection because it came off of an atv and they do not want any water or debris to get in there. All the electric fan motor (( Internal Combustion Engine ? ))'s I have seen have some kind of fresh air vent.

Take care.

Ahhaaaa! I see what you mean now.

Good work.

They usually have a hookup to the carb boot for filtered air...

thank you all.couldnt figure why they had it pointing upward for.but hooking up by the carb i see why.

more details on the water jacket! How will you weld it, and plumb it??? going with a hillside head???

trying to get hillside head.so far no luck.wanna get the head in my hands before i plumb the cylinder.as far as welding it will be tig welded.still gotta glass bead the cylinder before welding.hopefully ill
get it done sometime next week.

hy the glass bead??? To clean up the aluminum for welding??? I can't weld but I can get it fitted and have it welded...

yes the glass beading is to clean up the aluminum as much as possible for the welding.im having a close family freind who been doing aluminum hull welding for over 20yrs do the work.i weld for a living but don't have the equipment to weld aluminum,and cant justify buying a 2000.00 machine that will get used maybe a hand full of times a year.

wow finally got my nice new G series shocks.took 8 weeks to get the dam things.went without the rezzies cant see these things fading from trail ridin.cant wait to try them.this thing beats me at high speeds in the bumpy stuff.

Sweet!!! Did you order them thru /from works direcvtly???

no i went through chucklenuts at aftershot motorspurts because he had the cheapest price.live and learn wont buy from him again.

they gave me a set with the new shocks

yea guys you can go directly to works yourself and get a better deal! chucklenuts at aftershot motorspurts will try to tell you he has hid own setup, but do you really believe he knows more than Works? Works has been making shocks for Ody's long before chucklenuts at aftershot motorspurts became a dealer! Mention this site and all the rave reviews here!!!

ok got the cylinder glass beaded today.hopefully will get it welded this weekend
