My first bike coming from a 250, love it to bits...
Does anyone know where this hat looking thingy goes?
I removed my fairings to install frane sliders and had to also undo my radiator bolts cos my engine bolt nut was forever spinning and couldn't get to it easily.
Anyhow, this hat thingy dropped when I was screwing the radiator back into place.
if i recall correctly there's three of them. one at the bottom radiator where it mounts near the exhaust and 2 at the top where it mounts to the frame.
Thanks for that! Is it essential that it goes back on? I'm not sure how it fits with the bolts as the other radiator mounts are missing them as well so I don't have a guide.
I just undid my radiator and as I recall the are two "hats" per bolt (3 bolts connecting the radiator-two at the top and one at the bottom). The hats are like bushings so the bolts are not metal to metal-when placed end to end they form a channel for the bolt to go through. Idk if its essential but in the long run I'd feel better with everything as it should be. If your are still not clear you can PM me a email address and I'll send you some pics of now it's supposed to look
Thanks for your help guys, from your help, I worked out exactly what it does. It prevents the rubber insert from being squashed by the bolt at the top of the radiator. I would've never found this without your help THANKS!
Sweet! First time I got something right!!:rofl2: glad you got it sorted. I always end jobs with extra parts and it makes me nervous lmao
