Looking for a left hand radiator end cap for my TBS to mount a horn bracket on. I bought a Stebel airhorn (compact). I made a temporary bracket out of a piece of thin angle iron (really a heavy piece of bent sheetmetal). It works well so far, but it is too big. All I need is a piece of flat sheetmetal and weld it flat to the front side of the endcap (stick out 1/2-1"). Don't want to screw up my original without a back up on hand.

Sounds good, it is mounted so that the top is roughly at the mid point between the two mounting screws.

Any radiator end cap ffrom any year Adventurer, Legend, Tbird or TBS should fit. Some of the Adventurers may have been chrome.

Post a pic when you've completed it.

Some folks have mounted late model Speed Triple caps. This gives you an extra hole, where the turn signals mount for the S3....

All of the Adventurer side covers are chrome and that was available as an optional part for the entire line. If you want chrome you can probably still buy them as accessories.

Oh yeah....

If you go for the chromed end covers, be sure to spraypaint the insides with clear paint to prevent rust.
