Hi guys,
I'm just working on the weights and balance of the Razorback at the moment, and it struck me that I don't really know how much the coolant system for the BMW K75 will weigh. Anyone have any ideas on this? Anyone done a water-cooled 4-stroke installation? I'm just looking for ballpark figures, not exact numbers - because there are many variables - size of radiator, volume of coolant, weight of plumbing etc. So - are we talking 10lbs? Or 20lbs? Or 5lbs? My Radiator will be behind the pilot, so there will be quite a lot of plumbing to connect it to the engine (about 8ft away)

Cheers,
Duncan
