[QUOTE="dan filipi, post: 102600, member: 54"] Manifold heat just about done. Have to get some coolant hose. That's tinning flux smeared on the 1/2 copper getting ready for mating to my heat plate. [img]https://www.classicgoldwings.com/forum/gallery/image.php?album_id=2110&image_id=21657[/img] (There's the victim on the right for the next step) [img]https://www.classicgoldwings.com/forum/gallery/image.php?album_id=2110&image_id=21658[/img] 2 inch wide 1/8th inch thick steel plate. Center drilled and bolted to the plenum. [img]https://www.classicgoldwings.com/forum/gallery/image.php?album_id=2110&image_id=21659[/img] Bolted down, pulls the plate and copper tight to the plenum. [img]https://www.classicgoldwings.com/forum/gallery/image.php?album_id=2110&image_id=21660[/img] Fittings to 1/2" I.D hose. [img]https://www.classicgoldwings.com/forum/gallery/image.php?album_id=2110&image_id=21661[/img] Plumbed in to bike. I tapped to 1/4" NPT at rear of the coolant crossover tube housing. [img]https://www.classicgoldwings.com/forum/gallery/image.php?album_id=2110&image_id=21662[/img] Tapped to 1/4" NPT in the water pump cover. [img]https://www.classicgoldwings.com/forum/gallery/image.php?album_id=2110&image_id=21663[/img] I need to get some 1/2" I.D heater hose because the clear poly tube can't take the heat and pressure but it gave me a look see to check flow. This is very much a success so far. In the garage starting at 52 degrees, I locked the throttle at 1500 rpm then after a minute running rpm increased to almost 2000 rpm. This matched as the heat coming into the tubes telling me better vaporization started taking place. After under 5 minutes, the tubes were too hot to touch and the plenum was warm. With no heat, the plenum would be nearly ice cold and stay that way. My findings so far is that heat is most definately needed. I plan to test my heat plate well then insulate it. It is staying in place. Oh, and about the coolant getting cold at the discharge end? I didn't find that to be true. That end is still WAY to hot to touch. [/QUOTE]
