My 03 x440 needed a coolant catch tank as I use the bike for woods riding,I found a small cylindrical gerbal water feeder and using a pipe cutter I cut the feeder pipe so I could remove the one way valve and then used a small piece of fuel line as a internal "straw"- I used a satellite tv mast bracket to hold the bottle and a slightly longer bolt to bolt to the left side top frame cradle bolt-this system works flawless and almost looks oem,the bottle catches hot coolant and allows for the coolant to return via vaccum as it cools.cost me about 8$
