Title: Smaller Pace radiator for S4R Post by: DucHead on February 28, 2011, 09:37:42 AM Teaser pic:
(http://i34.photobucket.com/albums/d147/pompino/03942d50.jpg) This is essentially the radiator described by Simon here: http://www.simonvicki.co.uk/wheels_pages/_s4r_pages/S4r_stage_8.html (http://www.simonvicki.co.uk/wheels_pages/_s4r_pages/S4r_stage_8.html) Its 100 mm narrower, 5mm thicker and the same height. Nominal decrease in volume by 5%, only room for one fan (which I'm running anyway). I'll bolt it up tonight after work and post more pics then. Pace can make more, so PM me if you're interested. Title: Re: Smaller Pace radiator for S4R/S Post by: pennyrobber on February 28, 2011, 10:39:45 AM Very cool. Do you think it will bolt up on an S2R? ;D
This was always one of my issues with the S4R. The radiator was so wide. Maybe it's time to start the hunt for a nice used 4 valver. Title: Re: Smaller Pace radiator for S4R/S Post by: Speeddog on February 28, 2011, 12:05:48 PM Very tasty. [beer]
Title: Re: Smaller Pace radiator for S4R/S Post by: stopintime on February 28, 2011, 12:31:39 PM I've seen photos of it mounted on an S4R and it's almost invisible (compared).
[thumbsup] Title: Re: Smaller Pace radiator for S4R/S Post by: DucHead on February 28, 2011, 02:42:36 PM Well, I won't finish tonight. I need coolant and hose clamps. Plus, I have to figure out how/if I can still use the covers. I really like the covers, particularly after I fit an aftermarket overflow reservoir.

Title: Re: Smaller Pace radiator for S4R/S Post by: junior varsity on February 28, 2011, 07:20:14 PM that is make the beast with two backsin' awesome. i really dig it man
re: only 1 fan - did you choose a larger single fan? have you put the fan on a temp or manual switch? (i know some trackguys who ditched 'em completely.) Title: Re: Smaller Pace radiator for S4R/S Post by: Billyzoom on February 28, 2011, 09:07:56 PM INTERESTED INTERESTED INTERESTED INTERESTED !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! [drool]
Title: Re: Smaller Pace radiator for S4R/S Post by: scooby on March 01, 2011, 06:36:01 AM Title: Re: Smaller Pace radiator for S4R/S Post by: mahoneygod on March 01, 2011, 02:13:37 PM +1 what would the cost be? def interested.
Title: Re: Smaller Pace radiator for S4R/S Post by: Drunken Monkey on March 01, 2011, 03:35:23 PM Wow. If this had been available back in '02, I'd be riding a liquid-cooled monster now ;D
Title: Re: Smaller Pace radiator for S4R/S Post by: MonsterMan1036 on March 01, 2011, 03:43:56 PM I'd be down it the rad covers fit ok.
Can you PM me the cost. Title: Re: Smaller Pace radiator for S4R/S Post by: junior varsity on March 01, 2011, 03:55:09 PM Which rad covers? The cf ones that extend to the frame to cover the fans, or the small ones that fit on the sides? (Just curious in mods, I still am water-cooled-bike-less)
Title: Re: Smaller Pace radiator for S4R/S Post by: Speeddog on March 01, 2011, 06:19:21 PM Wow. If this had been available back in '02, I'd be riding a liquid-cooled monster now ;D It's never too late to do the right thing. ;D Title: Re: Smaller Pace radiator for S4R/S Post by: Moronic on March 01, 2011, 07:53:39 PM Well, since my S4Rs radiator has sprung a leak (all by itself, no stone damage) at 34,000km, I'm very interested too.
Wonder what the quality will be like compared with the stock rad? Better, I'm hoping. [roll] Title: Re: Smaller Pace radiator for S4R/S Post by: Drunken Monkey on March 01, 2011, 08:02:35 PM It's never too late to do the right thing. ;D Given how much I've put into my current monster, I'd say that ship has sailed. And my next bike... will be a Streetfighter (just as soon as they start to show up used :'( ) Title: Re: Smaller Pace radiator for S4R/S Post by: MonsterMan1036 on March 01, 2011, 08:20:34 PM Which rad covers? The cf ones that extend to the frame to cover the fans, or the small ones that fit on the sides? (Just curious in mods, I still am water-cooled-bike-less) The ones that go from the frame to the rad. You can see them sitting on DucHead's lift in the last pic. Title: Re: Smaller Pace radiator for S4R/S Post by: DucHead on March 02, 2011, 10:15:54 AM The ones that go from the frame to the rad. You can see them sitting on DucHead's lift in the last pic. Yup. I guess that'll be this summer's project. Perhaps trim the front of existing covers, add material (modeling clay?) to the rear, make a mold (latex?) and make new covers from fiberglass. Title: Re: Smaller Pace radiator for S4R/S Post by: junior varsity on March 02, 2011, 10:40:20 AM word
Title: Re: Smaller Pace radiator for S4R Post by: DucHead on March 02, 2011, 01:50:46 PM Note: The S4RS radiator is even wider than the desmoquattro S4R, so I'm not sure the Pace unit will fit the S4RS.
Anyone with an S4RS who's interested, please send me pics of the mount point of the radiator to the horizontal head. Also, the S4RS fans are deeper and may not fit. The desmoquattro fans fit fine. Dave Title: Re: Smaller Pace radiator for S4R Post by: TAftonomos on March 02, 2011, 05:13:51 PM I'm gonna send a spare rad to fluidyne and or/ron davis. The pricing is good without the $200 bill for shipping from the UK.
Title: Re: Smaller Pace radiator for S4R Post by: DucHead on March 03, 2011, 04:46:57 PM Comparison photos are needed...before:
(http://i34.photobucket.com/albums/d147/pompino/DSCN2449_1.jpg) After: (http://i34.photobucket.com/albums/d147/pompino/f0d997e9.jpg) Title: Re: Smaller Pace radiator for S4R Post by: duc996 on March 05, 2011, 06:17:12 PM Big difference! I want to do it on mine as well.
Title: Re: Smaller Pace radiator for S4R Post by: mahoneygod on March 07, 2011, 08:26:36 PM So its cool to run without the fans?
Title: Re: Smaller Pace radiator for S4R Post by: muskrat on March 07, 2011, 08:36:45 PM group buy? ;D
Title: Re: Smaller Pace radiator for S4R Post by: junior varsity on March 08, 2011, 05:40:56 AM So its cool to run without the fans? not if you come to a stop regularly (such as traffic) Title: Re: Smaller Pace radiator for S4R Post by: DucHead on March 08, 2011, 07:05:47 AM So its cool to run without the fans? not if you come to a stop regularly (such as traffic) As it turns out, I have an electrical (ECU?) problem and have not been running fans for >1yr (ca. 9000 miles). I commute on my bike and have not had any problems over heating (well, once last summer stuck in traffic in downtown Pittsburgh). group buy? ;D If there's enough people interested. Title: Re: Smaller Pace radiator for S4R Post by: Heath on March 08, 2011, 07:12:38 AM group buy? ;D omg anyone remember the rearset group buy? Title: Re: Smaller Pace radiator for S4R Post by: mahoneygod on March 08, 2011, 08:04:42 AM im in on a group buy
Title: Re: Smaller Pace radiator for S4R Post by: stopintime on March 08, 2011, 09:08:08 AM What is that sticker on the fender?
It looks like an eagle or a bird of some kind..... (http://i34.photobucket.com/albums/d147/pompino/DSCN2449_1.jpg) Title: Re: Smaller Pace radiator for S4R Post by: dbran1949 on March 08, 2011, 09:20:07 AM looks a little like Pegasus to me
Title: Re: Smaller Pace radiator for S4R Post by: junior varsity on March 08, 2011, 11:26:11 AM Its the Deal's Gap sticker - the Tail of the Dragon, as the road is frequently called. US 129 is a very biker-friendly road with lots of tourism appeal, travelling between Tennessee and North Carolina with 318 turns in 11 miles, steep drop-offs on one side, big elevation on the other, mostly switch backs, only two lanes, and has a restaurant at one end... with a tree of shame. (for all the parts people leave behind when they go 'yard-sale' off the road and into a ravine)
crate up that moto, and ship it from norway to the US and we can make it a group trip to the Gap! Title: Re: Smaller Pace radiator for S4R Post by: junior varsity on March 08, 2011, 11:26:51 AM but if i was going to tease our dearest DucHead, I would also "see" a pegasus.
Title: Re: Smaller Pace radiator for S4R Post by: Rameses on March 15, 2011, 09:32:06 PM What is that sticker on the fender? It looks like an eagle or a bird of some kind..... That's confusing as hell. One faces the left and one faces the right! ??? Title: Re: Smaller Pace radiator for S4R Post by: pennyrobber on March 16, 2011, 06:46:50 AM That's confusing as hell. One faces the left and one faces the right! ??? "One Pegasus goes one way, the other Pegasus goes the other way, and this guy's sayin', 'Whadda ya want from me?'" The radiator looks great man. [bacon] Title: Re: Smaller Pace radiator for S4R Post by: uglyducky on March 16, 2011, 07:11:54 AM sign me up for one!
Title: Re: Smaller Pace radiator for S4R Post by: NorDog on March 16, 2011, 07:45:39 AM That's confusing as hell. One faces the left and one faces the right! ??? If it faces to the right, it's a dragon. If it faces to the left, it's a wizard. Title: Re: Smaller Pace radiator for S4R Post by: stopintime on March 16, 2011, 10:25:30 AM If it face to the right, it's a dragon. If it faces to the left, it's a wizard. So, there's no way it could be a bird? 8) Title: Re: Smaller Pace radiator for S4R Post by: muskrat on March 16, 2011, 11:26:13 AM so group buy then?
1. Muskrat 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. Title: Re: Smaller Pace radiator for S4R Post by: uglyducky on March 16, 2011, 11:32:03 AM so group buy then? 1. Muskrat 2. Uglyducky 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. Title: Re: Smaller Pace radiator for S4R Post by: DucHead on March 16, 2011, 12:21:06 PM Title: Re: Smaller Pace radiator for S4R/S Post by: He Man on July 13, 2011, 03:23:57 PM Wow. If this had been available back in '02, I'd be riding a liquid-cooled monster now ;D ^ what he said. Title: Re: Smaller Pace radiator for S4R Post by: Howley on July 14, 2011, 02:38:08 AM It can be a bird if you stand facing the rear of the bike. Unless the sticker is on your left, then it's an eagle.
Title: Re: Smaller Pace radiator for S4R Post by: ducducgooseme on July 14, 2011, 11:14:41 AM Wow. Im in on this. perfect!
Title: Re: Smaller Pace radiator for S4R Post by: Pedro-bot on July 14, 2011, 06:07:10 PM So what's the estimated price?
