That link is about relocating the coolant overflow bottle to the front of the frame, behind the front bumper.

 

I myself agree with the guys on here and say run with no bottle. I won't be running mine at all this season, and if anything it'll save weight :laugh:

I think the coolant resevoir is a really good idea. That guy is an idiot though, all you need to do is re-route your bottle overflow line, not the whole damn resevoir.

Granted I run a drag bike on alky (runs cooler IF tuned right) I never ran one on my trail shees, either...

 

When I popped an oring on the ice, after three kicks I could hear the cap open and seen the little bit of water run out of the overflow line onto my garage floor. I'm sure I would've noticed as much with a bottle.

why do you need pics, just re-route it where you want it to dump out. I didn't re-route mine. My bike doesn't get that hot anymore. I have a coolhead, and run a water wetter mix. I left mine in the stock location. I run a mr. gasket cap with a thermometer in it. I back off when it gets hot. If the coolant dump is in the stock location, then you know when it gets hot cause you see the steam off the pipes, and you can take it easy.
