ashleybond87 Posted April 3, 2010 Posted April 3, 2010 Hi all could anyone be kind enough to inform me whether or not a yamaha fzr1000 radiator would fit onto a Yamaha Thunderace please help ha ha
pilninggas Posted April 3, 2010 Posted April 3, 2010 well i have an fzr1000 and the rad is 'straight' looking here: http://www.bikebandit.com/houseofmotorcycles/1997-yamaha-motorcycle-yzf1000rj/o/m8971 the thunderace has a heavily curved rad so i think the answer to your question is no unfortunately, hope that helps. p.s. you can also see the fzr1000 schematic on that site and compare for yourself if you want/.
ashleybond87 Posted April 3, 2010 Author Posted April 3, 2010 cheers for that do you recon it would matter though with me starting to streetfighter the ace i also understand that the yzf1000 parts will fit the ace as its fairly the same thing sorry for sounding naive i am relatively new to biking so i may be asking a few stupid questions and giving you lot a good laugh
pilninggas Posted April 3, 2010 Posted April 3, 2010 i think the problem might be clearing the frame, a flat radiator is likely to be wider if it is to offer the same heat exchanging properties as a curved radiator. - a yzf750 shares the same chassis as the thunderace (pretty much) and so might be a go-er. The R1 radiator is probably quite different. if you are ditching bodywork etc maybe most things can be made to go.
