Blue Loop Posted July 8, 2005 Report Share Posted July 8, 2005 border="0" class="linked-image" /> border="0" class="linked-image" />sorry cant remember the name in english and as an image is worth 1000words i decided to post a pic. BTW thats not mine, its just a random one i found on the net. i fitted one of these today and there's a problem with a round pink liquid holder thats in the engine. i had to take this out and screw it again in a different position since the bar wouldnt fit. My question is, has anyone had the same problem and what did you do with that thing? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snoopy Posted July 8, 2005 Report Share Posted July 8, 2005 The bar is called a strut brace.The liquid holder is the coolant bottle.I'm not sure how to fit the strut brace, but I remember people saying you had to move the coolant bottle - so it sounds like you did the right thing style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile.gif" /> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AndyW Posted July 9, 2005 Report Share Posted July 9, 2005 Yep, he did. There used to be pics of it someplace, but I'm too lazy to go look. Check his readers rides entry would be my advice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
