I fit the radiator fan on the weekend. Let me tell you its a wrestle getting the tank back on!! You have to loosen the radiator mounting bolts completely. The kit didn't come with the rubber grommet the instructions refer to however I am chasing the supplier for the missing piece.

Subsequent to this post a helpfull member pointed out that I have in fact mounted the fan on the top side of the bracket as opposed to the underside, so that the fan flush mounts with the radiator. Once its all together I will post a correct fitted pic. No wonder the tank was hard ot get on - some bells should have rung. One of the reasons I get most my work done in the shop! :bounce3:

how much did they sting you for the kit gidders ? Those rad guards look pretty stout too are they off the shelf or custom ?
 
I got the kit through KTM Parts USA, when converted costs about $A145. My local dealer was quoting around $300 installed. KTM Parts don't ship to Australia so I got it shipped to a friend in New Jersy. KTM did the domestic postage was free. Then she sent it to me which cost about $A15. The guards are off the shelf B&B. Got them thrown in with the deal when I bought the bike.

Why did you take it off :?:
I installed the fan assembly this weekend and only had to take off the right radiator. And I too missed the rubber grommet :|
The manual included told the fuel tank had to be taken off only when used on a KTM, not on a Husaberg.Or is the Euro-version different from the Aussie-version ?
 
Sjokske, instructions are the same. I had the tank off as I was cleaning the bike, and also just generally pulling bits off it to get to know the bike a bit better. In hindsight I was fortunate to have it off as another member has pointed I have mounted the fan on the wrong side of the bracket! Which I have now sorted out. I wouldn't have made my first post if I didn't struggle getting the tank back on!! :D

Cheers Gidders
