Coolant Overflow Bottle Bracket

[blue angel]

I am switching to pod filters and I want a coolant overflow bottle relocation bracket as opposed to cutting the stock air box, I found one on Vitos website but it says they are out of stock, anyone know where I can find one?

Honestly you don't need that overflow bottle at all. I bet 90% of banshee owners in the world Don't run one including myself!

I'll be honest chris.... I use a overflow bottle.....

 

 

For purging!! lol

no overflow bottle here either, but if you want one i would contact JDSCustoms. he is a site sponsor and carries the relocation brackets.

I recomend using the bracket out behind the house that is round and says rubbermaid on it. When I buy a bike, the first thing I do is get rid of everthing that is not needed and the coolant bottle is one of them.

No.. You would route that overflow line down the front of your frame so it dumps on the floor.

I run this water bottle bracket. It has a holder for 2 spark plugs as well.

 

I also run the water bottle because the radiator does pull fluid back in.

Take the hose that used to go to the water bottle and route it down the frame tube behind the radiator, zip tie it to it and cut it off right below the bottom frame tube so it spits on the ground and not the bike. Mine has been this way for 18 years and I do all the newer bikes the same way. Fill the radiator and bring it up to temp easily and let it spit what it needs to and you are good to go. It will spit a little out and when it cools it sucks in a little air that it will push back out the next time it comes to temp.

Yep but if you had a coolant bottle it would pull in coolant instead of air when it cooled down. That heating and cooling cycle will keep the radiator topped off.

My point was that it does not matter if it sucks air or coolant back in BECAUSE AS SOON AS IT HEATS BACK UP IT PUSHES OUT WHATEVER IT SUCKED IN. My personal bike has been setup the way I described for 18+ years, my wife's current bike has been this way since we got it, her previous Banshee was this way, all my friends with Banshees have theirs setup this way and probably 90% of the guys on here are setup this way and none of us are having problems caused by not running an overflow bottle. The only reason they started putting overflow bottle on cars was to keep the coolant off the pavement and enviroment.
