Yes, it was built by Service Honda but I don't blame them. They were stock Kawasaki bearings, Koyo.
Sorry about the pics! PhotoBucket has made a lot of changes lately and when I copied the pics for the link they didn't include the Img code for some reason. Also PhotoBucket now defaults to there own pic size for links and making the images original size or of reasonable size is now an option you have to select when uploading pics. I'll do a better job next time or find a better host site! PhotoBucket used to be pretty good...
Thanks Motorrad!

Im interested in the layout of the Service honda cooling system.. as all the old pics on the site are lost...
Ive decided to route my cooling system in parallel...... to see if It cools better.

I've been known to ride in 110 plus here in Vegas. The Service Honda routing never gave me any problems. The beer drinking afterwards was sometimes a problem! :-D

sounds like my kind of problem :-D :-D
Mine doesnt boil over. but Id like to get it running cooler.. for the only reason of getting away with more :evil:

I intend to replace the bearings every sixty to eighty hours. Something to be aware of, excessive side clearance on the big end will shorten bearing life if the conrod doesn't snap first!
