hey yall, i was thinkin, is there any way i can relocate my radiator to a more hidden area in the front of the chassis, such as the yfz450? has anyone done this relocation? and if they have can you replace the stock plastics with less...unique ones such as 400ex plastics. welding is no prob i was just wondering if anyone has done this and how it worked out.
COUGH COUGH THIS MAY BE A GOOD THING TO SELL A KIT FOR COUGH COUGH-to all the aftermarket parts manufactures

dude are you f!@king high
400ex plastics on a raptor would look g@y
( no offense to homos)

 

1) Im not high
2) it would make sense to relocate the radiator for one, behind my mud screened bumper and inside the frame it would have more protection
3) 400ex plastics that are race cut look darn sick
4) my bike is strictly for mx and very little gncc riding so that is another reason it would be a good idea
5) you dont have to worry about gaaays on a site that envolves anything that envolves engines
6) have a nice day sir

 

I don't think it's worth the time or the headache. Why don't you just get a 400ex? A Raptor is still a Raptor no matter what plastics you have on it and it's not a real mx bike unless you've got tons of money to put into it. Good luck anyway.

GO EAGLES!!!

 

Firstly there isn't enough room to relocate the stock radiator lower in the chassis, secondly there would be no appreciable gain in "protection" for the radiator in a lower position (it would be more exposed IMHO), and lastly the lower CG from the move wouldn't even be noticable considering the weight of the engine and other components.

Save your time and money and concentrate on other mods...
