DIY Coolant Catch Can

If you do some google search for dirt bike coolant catch can, you will find some pretty ugly stuff. I’ve seen modified turkey basters, coke bottles, and everything else in between. Heres something that looks nice, slim, easy to make, costs only a few bucks per fitting, and fittings are readily available at home depot, lowes, and where ever else you shop for your plumbing needs.  

Drill a hole in the cap so its a slightly snug fit on the tube (you want to allow air to pass), make sure the tube is long enough to reach the bottom, Zip tie it in place of the other radiator, fill halfway with coolant and done! You don’t need to use any hose clamps on this, and don’t tighten the cap so that it can still bleed any air pressure.

I bought all the parts for this at Lowes, but wasnt able to find the part numbers for the fittings online, home depot and lowes appear to not list these small fittings online.

Seems like alot of the hardware stores dont stock these fittings especially in the more rural areas, so here you go:  Coolant catch can kit $10
