Ste -

Anyone else using Quadavator
wash spray products? I have been
surfing their web site from time to
time and their products look cool
but I think the water spray system
is a little pricy. Do we know of any
other products that do similar things?
I like Caper's idea of the Super Soaker,
ehehe, I think I remember something
that has a full back pack and then
gun or spout that may work depending
on how much water it holds to how much
is needed.

i looked up just the pump to make my own set up and it was about 80.00. i think you do need something w/ a fair amount of pressure to cleanit. once it heat dries in the rad. its hard to get it out.

yea we try to find water as soon as possiable right and the mud to get some out. i'll end up making or buying some kind of washer system like the i mentioned. pretty cheap insurance when theres alot of us out playing inthe mud. speaking from having 2 overheats on mine 1, on the wifes, and 4 to 5 on the 2 brute forces i ride w/ then its way better to have something on the trail to clean.

Okay here is my million dollar invention
idea (NOT!). How about rigging up something
like a extinguisher system comprised of spa
hoses (like some that use for snorkel kits)
with high pressure snouts placed in different
angles front/back and top/bottom that can
automatically shoot water from conceled tube
like tank under the front end and/or running
on the sides activated by temperture sensor
triggers or by demand (Switch on pod or
handlebars based on indicator display)
for instant cleaning/rinse of radiator.

You guys should do what I do,.............. Go around mudholes. These things are not intended to be in anything above the floorboards. Oh,... why do I have 28" Mudzilla's? I use them just for the added ground clearance, but remember, I NEVER go above my floorboards [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]
