Looks good.... but most people run the cooling line from the head to the bottom of the head pipe IMO.
The hose you have running from the bottom of the head pipe looks like it's a tight fit between the gas tank and exhaust chamber. :thinking:

That's if you're running dual cooling. Technically if you're running single cooling you should have that front outlet plugged.
With or without dual cooling, running the second head fitting overboard will increase the flow of water, thus flowing water through the cylinders more quickly, thus keeping the cylinders cooler.
not exactly; you need to restrict the flow of water from the head. This will keep the cylinder cooler.

and will give you better pressure in the headpipe.

Art at Jetworks told me that if your going to dump one off the head with single cooling you need to restrict it to keep from getting hot spots in the cylinder from the water not contacting it as long and it not transfering the heat evenly.:biggthumpup:

The head pipe develops more water pressure inside which is need for the screws settings when plumped from the bottom. Also there is less chance of developing an air pocket inside the water jacket when the feed is from the bottom. It can be done many different ways it's just a matter of personal preference.
I was just worried about this guys hose being pinched between the gas tank and exhaust chamber.
It's a good thing he's using the FPs silicone hose because it's going to be getting hot in that area.

That silicone hose is very expensive but it the best heat resistant hose out there.

I am plumbing my B pipe today, so I searched for a couple threads and found this one.
Not starting anything here, this is just an FYI for all those people who have issues with cooling or questions that go un answered.
The ski in this thread (post 1) my friend bought last year (May I believe)
After an hour of riding the topend overheated, front cylinder had 35psi, rear was fine. It was a regular day, even slightly raining so no climate heat issues to worry about (wasn't a 120 degree toaster of a day)
Just some food for thought when "plugging" and aftermarket head. They put a fitting on the end of it for a reason :smokin:

We replaced the slug, ran a waterline to a pisser overboard. Ran it the rest of the year, no issues hits like it should.
