Hi sknh603, I checked out your link to your photo bucket and I just have to say what a

fukin sweet ass Cr500 1998 A/F ride you got there. I had a CR250 1998 few months back, someone stole it. Have you got any photos of your newest conversion. Keep up the good work.

Wont it run hotter with only one coolant hose?

Nodge · Post by **Nodge** » June 25th, 2013, 7:03 pm

If I had 2 hoses, they'd have to join together to go into the single rad inlet anyway.
So no, it won't run any hotter.
The gen 1 has 1 rad, so only one hose in, and one hose out.
Cools perfectly.

I made this for about $0.69. Everyone said it was too ghetto........ so I caved and swapped it out.

I still like it.

I like the last setup. I will try the T copper hookup first. And see how it goes.

Only thing is that there is a small kink, maybe another clamp to help it not kink?

All better now on the left side

Top side

looks like you could use a section of a stock CR500 rad hose upper section with a prebent curve in it and just clip to fit or go to your local auto parts store and find some prebent heater hose. The stuff under the tank while not the prettiest thing I have ever seen looks like it will work and should be hidden by some bodywork so you probably can get away with that. The left side I would be looking for some more prebent or something to eliminate some of those clamps and joints maybe it's hidden by bodywork as well and you could get away with it. The right side you have to clean up with some prebent stuff or it will jepardize the whole builds cleanliness and make the whole thing look ghetto....an extra clamp isn't the way to go.

I used a stock gen1 97-99 cr250 rad hose to go to the top of the rad from the copper t on the head. Just trimmed it a couple inches.

I've bee going to Autozone and digging through their hoses to find custom stuff, you may need to get something a couple feet long just to get that bend formed but that is not a good place to have a restriction.

sknh603 · Post by **sknh603** » July 2nd, 2013, 1:52 pm

Yea I was thinking the same for the right side..I'll spend some more time looking for that righose..thanks for the input again

lambofgod85 · Post by **lambofgod85** » July 4th, 2013, 2:12 am

I used two of these hoses on my build. worked really good.

cmotodad · Post by **cmotodad** » July 4th, 2013, 11:56 am
