Well I fired up the old pentium 166.Hasnt run in a long time. Smoked a bit.:lol: :lol: :lol: Anyways I got the pic of the rad relocator that seems to have belonged to someone from this site. Hence the old 3 wheelerworld.com sticker.
I do not understand how they stayed cool with like half the radiator and no hoses to help with heat. But it still looks cool and would be cool to have with a 86-87 headlight.

That was Sean's old T3. Had an 86 rear and frontend on it.

Im not sure. This was about 5 years ago when this was taken I think. But how did this work? WAYYY too little rad room too cool.

not to mention the rad is sidways and the only air that can pass though it is what that little that shroud can pull. good idea... bad execution!

if i can find the pic on my cd's, i have a pic of a red t3 with the radiator on the side like that, but better craftsmanship. almost sorta like a tigers radiator, minus the scoop which i think the guy was trying to make. cool idea, and very functional. like i said let me do a search thru my stacks of cd's, see what i can find.

IT IS Seans bike, no question about it. It did work because it was his daily rider. It was a aftermarket kit, not some cob job.

Doesn't look any smaller then my Tecate's fork mounted rad, its just longer then it is wide.

It looks to be an inch thicker and 2-3 inches higher. Im just surprised that I have not seen another in 6 years.
