Next up was moving the radiator to the rear. I wanted to do this for a few reasons.... First was to move weight to the rear for better handling, and secondly was to keep it from getting clogged with mud on the days it was wet at the track. I did a little internet searching and found out that Hess Motorsports offered a CBR radiator kit that came with everything i needed to get the job done. Easy peasy!
Here is all the shit I pulled out...
To start, I put the bed back in place, cut up the stock bed mounts and welded them to the new frame work.
Once that was finished I got the radiator mounts made using half of what came in the kit and some tabs I made out of scraps. I wasn't feeling great about just mounting it to the bed like the instructions indicated, so I modified their brackets and now have it mounted to the bed and the cage.
The finished product.....
