Well the beautiful white van (changes from brown to white in rural areas lol) showed up this morning.
The CR500 is now in the garage waiting to be installed.
I pulled the gas tank, and coolant resevoir, to make room for the new-to-me ATVR increased capacity fuel tank.
Cut the rad cross member out, fit and tacked in a replacement. I'm doing the rad relocation a bit different. I'm adding a cross member from the roll cage uprights (vertical behind seat) to the angled bars that run from roof to rear of the pilot. From those I will mount tabs for bolting the rad cross member on. I have the new members tacked in postion and just need to verify things before I go ahead and weld things in tight.....but I was called away from the shop :cry:
