I bought a rectangular 1 quart Nalgene bottle from someplace.
I drilled two holes in the top "shoulders" of the bottle. One on either side of
the cap. I routed a rubber hose from the stock tiger overflow fitting on the
expansion tank through one hole in the bottle. This hose goes all the way to
the bottom of the bottle. Another hose is placed about 1 inch inside the other
hole and then is routed down the side of the radiator to the bottom of the
engine compartment.
The bottle is located between the expansion tank and the inside wall of the
engine compartment just aft of the horn hole. It is a tight fit and I just let
the bottle rattle around in there.
It works a treat it does.
