I have spent a good while looking for advice on creating/ customising a coolant reservoir/ overflow catch tank and to be honest, most of the threads I initially found had older members saying 'use the search feature, there are lots of threads on the subject' (or words to that effect) - I was going round in circles.

So after going on a bit of mission, I found the following threads about coolant reservoirs from the longest - shortest at time of posting:

• Coolant Overflow items (86 posts)
• My home built overflow tank (57 posts)
• CUSTOM RADIATOR OVERFLOW TANK (48 posts)
• show me your overflow bottles (35 posts)
• What to do with that pesky overflow? (26 posts)
• coolant reservoir (18 posts)
• custom coolant res (15 posts)
• What size coolant overflow? (14 posts)
• Coolant Overflow (13 posts)
• 929rr Overflow Canister? (7 posts)
• Connect hoses to my new coolant bottle

Here's the information I was looking for (and some I wasn't) arty-smiley: :rock:

(there may be more/ better threads, please add them to the list)

Good job, mightlife! :thumbsup:

Got me thinking about the resi on the Kwak now. The stocker is an absolute shocker. I've got a few 500mL beer cans to choose from that would be infinitely better!

We should get a mod to rename this thread something like : The Ultimate Coolant Overflow Can Thread" or some such thing. Repped for D'inW in this biotch.

Ya know what? I like this title better, we really should make it a sticky though.

I agree. There should also be stickies for how to mount handlebars and risers, and how to mount headlights. That sems to come up a lot.

This is great because it shows people what they can use to make a coolant catch can, but there's several ways to mount headlights. Handlebars and risers would be good, pretty straight forward depending on what kind of bracing the triple tree might need.

I'm glad these threads are helping people. Sadly, I can't give workshop advice hehe.
