Radiator mounts

Post by Mikey427 »

I had to take off my rad (L1) today, and it does not seem to have any top mounts. It is basically resting on the bottom mounts, which tend to move up and down around the screw even if it is tightened, because it is surrounded by rubber. It seems that the hoses carry the weight of the radiator. I supposed that is not correct is it? There is some kind of brace on the top of the rad, but it does not attach to anything. Would anyone be so kind to take a pic of how it should look? The manual is not much help. Thanks

There should be a bracket that bolts underneath the frame, just behind the bottom yoke, that the top of the radiator bolts too. There will be two 'lugs' welded to the top of the radiator for attachment

Thanks, makes sense now. Just a shame my bike is missing the bracket. Shame on the previous owner.
