Rd350 Ypvs N2 radiator cover fitting details

#1 Post by kjellz » Tue Aug 01, 2017 1:17 pm

Hi
after chasing down the parts, I have a bit of an issue fitting the New N2 radiator cover to my F2 as part of the final "transformation".
More specifically, i am struggling to see where /how the top of the radiator attaches to the frame/radiator?

On the parts list illustration pdf a bolt item 20 is shown on page 13, but there does not seem to be a corresponding bracket or tab to fix the bolt to?
ref http://rd350lc.net/RD350N2-1UA-86eng.pdf

Can anyone help? Is the F2 frame missing some "bits" compared to the N2 perhaps?


I tried to explain this problem on the "N2 radiator cover wanted" thread as well ..

Thanks
Kjell

There is a tab on the frame on the naked bikes to bolt this too, it is not present on the full fairing bikes, I used the cover as a jig to weld a tab on myself. (and then I installed a larger aluminum rad that the cover won't fit over).

Thanks for your explanation.
Will do some similar mods to mine then :-)
