in need of water inlet housing

[dvd]

I inherited a 83 vision that the owner took out the right lower fairing and water inlet housing.  I removed the  fairing, no problem, but I do need the water inlet housing, gasket and hoses.  Does anyone have a spare they can part with?  byw - what antifreeze is recommended?

I look forward to joining this group of riders.  I live on the Duck Valley Indian Res in Owyhee NV (on the Idaho border), but have visions (pun?) of many miles on many roads.

Thanks - email me dlock@zappsystems.com

Welcome dvd.  Glad you found us.  Nice to have another Westerner in the fold!   ;D

Tiger may have the parts you seek.  They aren't terribly rare - I believe the later 82s had the same parts as the 83s.  The early 82s have a different part number for the waterpump housing.

As for antifreeze, you can use anything that says non-silica.  Yamacool is what I used for years.  Now, I use EngineIce which helps the engine run a little cooler.  They say up to 50 degrees (F) but I'd say more like 10 ~ 15 (F).

Look for Tiger's posts in the swap shop section of the forum.  He's online quite often & may answer your post here as well.

I can couch for that, I had to swap sidecovers on my bike cuz my waterpump housing wouldn't fit

Thanks Tiger - it would be worth it to pay you for one to see if it does fit.  If not, we can go from there.  Or do you want to sell one?  If so, how much and where to send the $. - dvd

The DGY site says one # for serial #s up to 010176 & another for 010177 & up.  The number is on the engine.

Hope this helps.
