Radiator Shroud

Where is a good place to get one? tried and tested preferably

TCP..........http://cgi.ebay.ca/Yamaha-Rhino-660-450-Custom-Shroud-for-Stock-radiator
Do a search for Tottally Cool products or TCP performance.
I've had one for a long time, my 686 never gets over 180 to 185, even in this heat.

Dont know why the link won't work- E-Bay Item # 170331157638

thanks pate I need all the cooling help I can get down here

Really good,well built piece, but it's a muther to put on!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Be prepared to bleed............

I bleed daily as well as get cooked damn spatter

i ve got one also...............mine runs 20 degrees cooler now.........180 ish

the only thing I worry about with this is cleaning the radiator. I know mine clogs up easily and was worried it wouldn't clean up well since it cant drain out the back side. Anyone have any issues with that?

theres some drain holes in it.

ordered shroud today cant wait to get it and try it out

I've never had any cleaning issues either.

ill see just how good those drain holes are im sure riding at the ranch...TCP will hopefully get it here fast so I can tr it out this long weekend

is there some kind of pecial way to get this shroud in seeing how it came with 0 instructions on how to... I got the fan off and know how to remount it to the shroud and how to mount the shroud just need to know how in the hell to get the shroud back behind the radiator

how hard has it been so far because i got one on the way. i hope its not a pain in the arse.

You will have to remove the drivers-side radiator-hose and the brake-line clips............not a big deal.

Garth called said you have 2 options:
1. Remove hose and coolant install, replace hose/coolant
2. Remove passenger side shock and tire, install, replace

He said option 1 would be easiest but I really didnt want to have to drain the system but looks like I will have to.

#2 would be easiest.

remove the hose and stop up the spout.lift the hose above the radiator and tie off while installing.add small amount of coolant at the end.bleed system

I think I am going to go route #2 seeing I am more confident in my tire and shock skills then my bleeding the system skills it will have to wait going to bass pro

hope my wallet isnt empty when I get home

Put mine on today, its a bit of a PIA getting to those two bottom screws. I took off the passenger tire and shock and still ended up disconnecting the hose because it was such a tight fit. I hope it works as well as you guys say

I had to do the exact same kinda disappontied since I was hoping to just pull tire but bleeding the system is easier then pulling the shock...live nad learn... and yes it works well went riding last noght nad it ran half as long

I pulled the drivers-side hose, lost about about a pint of coolant, no biggie, those bottom bolts are hell tho!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thats about all I lost too, didn't even need to bleed it I just made sure the front was jacked up higher than the engine and you are right about those bolts!

If i help install another im gonna suggest just pull the whole dang rad probably will be easiler plus bleeding was a piece of cake once I actually tried it
