Default Re: Hayabusa radiator,fan, and cooling questions

Being that Im not using the Thermostat housing bypass hose on my rail I cut off, drilled, and tapped the bung on the thermostat housing to accept a 1/8 npt temp sensor. *This gives me the temp. leaving the motor right after the *thermostat.
There are also a few places to get an adapter that replaces a head plug that will allow you to use a standard temp sensor. I think heads up performance sells them....I think.

Dlisabeth could you post some pics of how your radiator is setup in the rail....Mine is behind the passanger seat downlow. I am having issues with my radiator leaking. It keeps leaking around the tubes on the end caps where they are braze welded. Ive tried quite a few different mounting configurations but still have a problem with leaks..... maybe its just cheap radiators or maybe its the way Im mounting it....
