I will send some actual current photos today. Anyone have instructions on how to route the coolant hoses under the exhaust can't figure it out, stupid puzzle!

Coming along very nice.
Those Chinese radiators are well made BUT the mounts are a little light and they snap off if you have a loose swingarm bolt or bushes. [ Vibration ]
Rads cost me $200 and new mounts $180 but all good now.

These photos are of my 240 [ easier to get at ] but it's the same.



Hoses do not touch the exhaust anywhere.
The black hose on your floor looks to be the correct one from right rad to "T" on left side.

Looking good, not far from a spray job by the looks of it, hope your enjoying the work.

I know this is an old thread, but that is coming along very well, your efforts will pay off!

These were/are a great bike even though they weren't perfect, but they were damned close!

I owned a '86 WR400 years ago and regret ever selling it. Thankfully I have just acquired another one, complete with alloy clutch cover instead of the magnesium (rotten) like my old one had.
I probably won't be able to pick it up before the weekend but I think I will start a new thread for it once I have re-familiarised myself with it.
