Re: Coolant Connections

Am I correct in thinking the top connection pointing towards the rear of the bike is just a breather of some sort without a connection ?

Re: VTR1000 Project Bike

MOT mileage history is readily available on the net - I'm building the bike so dont want a huge discrepancy on mileage irrespective of what the clocks say.
