Radiator size ?

[phil_h]

Can someone tell me the dimensions of standard 906 Paso radiator please.
I'm looking for something a bit narrower than what is fitted to my new 906-paso-engined-spondon, and I'm not even sure what the radiator that is fitted to it is from.

Show us your Spondon and I'll measure my paso radiator.

[phil_h]

A bit short notice, and it already doesnt look like this as I've got all the bodywork off, and am rewiring it

[phil_h]

It has flatslide carbs btw.
if anyone is interested in their spec I'll post details when I get round to taking them apart for cleaning.

[JWilliam]

Looks great! It being a Spondon I guess you are local to that area? Anyway, I am waiting for an mph speedo for my paso and when it arrives I will look at the radiator too.

The radiator measures 16" x 7.5" and is about 1.5" thick. It has two 1" pipes for fluid in and out but no car type rad filler cap.

[phil_h]

That definitely sounds different - you obviously spotted the filler cap poking out of the fairing !
Hmm. Not sure what to do next, but I guess I'll get it running without putting the fairing back on anyway

Remember that racing bikes use a smaller radiator!
This happened also in Ducati, when some 888 sp ready to race were bound to street use!
Dealers had to change radiators from small to standard in aftermarket!

I understand what you are saying nicola, but I think the rad on mine is not only not a ducati rad, but a bit big really.
I think I'll have to run the bike without the fairing at first anyway, and monitor the temperature with the rad its got before I change anything.
Lots of wiring and things arriving at the mo off ebay to fit before I get it running anyway

does any one know of a radiator that can be used on a 906?
