It's really not hard. There's a big hose that comes off the front of the coolant bottle, plug that.

Yank out the tee that goes to the radiator and put a straight union in there.

Left side, big radiator hose, you can see the union where there was a tee... blocked off hose is straight left of the mag side EV, just behind the relief drain hose.

Radiator delete

I went to the local hardware store bought a brass 3/4" hose coupler and a 3/4 " brass plug and three good hose clamps. I used the existing hose coming out of the plastic storage bottle. Just cut it off put the plug in with a good clamp. Then I put the coupler in where the three hoses meet with two good clamps. Removed the radiator and extra hoses. Done the whole thing for 7.95 us dollars I still had to wrap the hose with heat shield where it passed the y pipe. This worked really good for me and it saved some money. Oh Yea I used the diagram above.

Thanks, Rod

Do the newer 09 sleds that don't have the front radiator still have the second hole in their coolant bottle? Can you switch your bottles over to the newer 09' bottle and have a smooth setup?

Thanks,
Nolan

anyone that has minimum clearence between their Y-Pipe and the coolant hose coming from the cylinder head...you might want to ADD a 2 or 3" section of hose with a union to get more spacing..i dont think the head wrap will work alone (for a long time that is) mine was just heat wrapped and teh last rideof the year my hose melted againist my y-pipe and i lost all my coolant...

i am gonna add a few inches to that hose to get the room between them..

just a thought for some who care ;)

Nolan, good question on the coolant hose..would be nice..but not sure if they will mount the same?? interested to hear on this..
