My new stock stroke 400 build

Due to my overheating problems, I decided to add a coolant recovery tank. The issue is finding some real estate to mount it. The driver's side is out due to the battery tray and my headlight relays. On the passenger side I have the horns occupying a lot of the space. I found a 3 inch round by 10 inch deep stainless steel tank that might work. Looking around I found that my towel roll was down to exactly 3 inches by 11 inches, so it became the template. I also found that if I spaced out the lower horn bracket about two inches it would clear. I happened to have some 2X3 tubing left over so I cut a small spacer. The upper horn is okay. A quick test fit and I think I will be good to go! When I have the rad recored I will have them turn the filler neck so the outlet faces the passenger side.

I finished the stand off bracket, and gave it and the horns a quick coat of paint.

I got the horns back in place tonight, and test fitted the recovery tank. It is pretty much a press fit in between the rad frame and the horn brackets. The lower tab is resting up against the lower horn bracket, and the upper tab is resting on top of the upper horn bracket. For now I will probably just add a zip tie on the top. When I get the rad recored I may end up slotting the lower tab so it slides up over the lower horn bracket and modify the upper tab to bolt it directly to the existing hole in the upper horn bracket.

I got a bracket figured out so everything is now in place and secured. Gotta love the orange hose the kit comes with. It will be changed out after I get the overflow switched around on the rad .
