RLR Race radiator - where does the temp sender go?

Post by spanky » Sat Mar 05, 2011 8:37 pm

Evening all,

I've got an RLR race lower rad waiting to be fitted to the track bike but I noticed today it doesn't have a hole for the temperature sender.

Do people just go without a temperature guage or is there some otherway of hooking it up??

Cheers,
James.

Temp sender is on the thermostat housing

ahh. I always thought it was the one in the lower rad - that must mean the sensor in the rad is for the fan then?

I've got a Scitsu guage with the sender screwed into a standard radiator in place of the honda sensor. If there's another sender in the thermostat housing I'll see if I can use that tomorrow. The Scitsu sender is pretty chunky so I might be a bit screwed otherwise.

look out for my next thread - how to hook up a scitsu temp guage.

Cheers,
James

Magic - I was thinking the thread size would be too small on the thermostat housing. I'll have a look tomorrow and see if the sender I've got will fit and report back.
