The upper radiator hose on my 97 GL with a Vulcan in the cold weather is leaking Antifreeze because the OEM clamp sucks.

How in the heck do you take that hose off at the radiator? It's totally hidden through the body. I'm sure the battery is outa there. I also want to put good clamp on it. Is it possible?

Unfortunately it is impossible. I am afraid your stuck with it the rest of your life.

is that true. It should be clamped at the radiator end too

Here's a picture. It's so close I can't show it in a picture. I hope this helps.



Lower right is the Battery. Wire harness going over the top of the hose. there is also a fuse panel above the hose.

well, just because you cant see the hose clamp, dosent mean you can get it out.
its looks pretty much the same in my 96 GL.
why is that pic so small

Picture #2

If it looks the same as your 96. How do I go about getting to it?

ooo thats really dirty motor.

well, just see if you can reach to the clamps.. remove whatever is in the way, batt, fuse box.. they should be easy to remove

Check into purchasing a Chilton's and follow directions. You have to remove the upper radiator support cover. It's the large flat surface above the radiator core. Not to difficult to remove.
