I can assure you that cable ties through the radiator weren't used in those photos but pop rivets through the original housing were used. Look more closely at the photos. The original housing was split on one side then stretched open to accommodate the new fan. The fan was then riveted to the old housing. See it?
I had the brush holders melt on my K100RS. I tried to fix them, but the fix only lasted a couple thousand miles. Here is exactly the fan I used:https://www.ebay.com/itm/Spal-30100402-6-5-Straight-Blade-Low-Profile-Fan-Puller-325-cfm/312248815224?epid=1172534759&hash=item48b37ace78:g:7TIAAOSw4NZbdZSc:rk:1:pf:0#shpCntIdI would do a buy it now and see if the transaction is blocked because of your address. Worse comes to worse, someone here could purchase it and ship it to you. It woudn't be the first time.I have linked above the procedure I used to install it. Avoid cable ties, they aren't reliable enough. Follow the procedure I linked. It is really easy and holds up, my installation has gone through 15,000 miles and a bad accident and still works.While the radiator and fan are off the bike take the opportunity to clean the radiator thoroughly inside and out. Even if the internal passages are squeaky clean, there usually is enough dirt and bugs in the fins to block almost all the air flow.
By George, I think he's got it! Shoot first; ask questions later. :clap:
For the alligator wrestling hunting down in Kissimmee?
Go to IHOP next time. I know for a fact that you can get served if you wear a sport coat and tie without pants.
