Hey Blue, I dropped the hint about knocking one up for me to one of OBT’s resident DIY dudes (a mad keen Ford man) via a PM and he has been very quiet ever since.:S

So dose anyone actually want these brackets made?!?

just brackets? or fan and switch?

i need better measurements than are on the 4strokes web site!

These also work on CRF450x as well I have one on my 450x as it was getting hot in the snotty stuff and it has helped.I have also fitted the to a few KTM50sx used in trials events at my young blokes club after seeing quite a few of the 50sx overheat as the kids have no idea about how hot a bike gets and would sit there waiting to go through the next section with the bike Idleing a bliping the throttle and no it don’t matter how many times you tell them turn them off while ya waiting some just don’t get it so I made up a few kits and fitted them to a couple of the mini’s and it help on them big time just made up a battery pack out of 2 9v batteries hooked up in series to give 18votls and put a switch on the bars and the kids turn on the fan and away they go if they are a bit smart they get right through the events with battery left over then just recharge the batteries for the next time they do trials and all is sweet.The fans lasted a couple of years even with the 18volts and washing with a hose and all the just keep going.

The 650r does not overheat,
just change the radiator cap to one from a KX80.
And change the thermostat to a 99 model suzuki swift (thats a car)

Yeah I have only changed the cap, I only ever had mine boil twice that was before I changed the cap.
