jer878 Posted February 25, 2011 #3 Posted February 25, 2011 If it's similar to mine with a couple of bent over tabs on the top and on the side, you have to pop loose the radiator enough to lower it a bit and slide the holes in the top tabs over the pins on top of the radiator. Put the radiator back in place and the screws on each side through the holes in the side tabs. That was by memory from 3 years ago and of course if your's is like that.
Globewalker Posted February 25, 2011 #4 Posted February 25, 2011 You didn't say what brand it was.. but here is an old post of mine and what it took http://www.venturerider.org/forum/showthread.php?t=45499&highlight=celestar
davecb Posted February 26, 2011 #5 Posted February 26, 2011 You will also have to lift up on the radiator to get the bolts back in. Itsa PITA, but doesn't take long to do it...
friesman Posted May 12, 2011 #6 Posted May 12, 2011 Found a thread... basically sounds like I need to use a pry bar to lower the rad enough to slide the top tab of the cover on. Will try this after American Idol... unless someone suggests another way. Thanks ! American Idol is getting priority over putting new chrome on your bike?......... .you aint right!!!!!!!!!!!:rotfl: Brian
w.steve wells Posted May 12, 2011 #7 Posted May 12, 2011 ito had trouble gettingthe rad down enough to get the top tab over the tube, i just took tin ships and split the top tab on one sibe at an angle opened the tab enough to slide past the tube then bent the tab back to org.shape works fine. i did find that there was a slight vib so i added two small rubber bumpers between the rad and cover at the top to prevent rattle:080402gudl_prv:
jonesy Posted May 12, 2011 #8 Posted May 12, 2011 Put one on my trike, didn't get raditor down too far so I put a slot in top bracket just wide enough to get bracket to slip around upper post and put side bolts back in. Cover don't weigh nothing so I'm counting on side bolts to hold cover tight. Did this 2 weeks or so ago, and its working out just fine.
