That's a darned good question....I have the same bike and would love to know if the setup on the '04-05 models would fit on a '00. I did buy the Muzzy fan to replace the stock plastic.

Oh if i am not wrong, 02-05 radiators with 2 fans will fit into 00-01 models, what i meant is that i would get another extra 00-01 fan to fix into the present one fan system.But i wonder if there is enough space to fix in 2 sets of 00-01 fans.which are bigger than the 02-05 ones.

No, I do not think it will work either way without modification to the radiator or brackets.

TRN is right. I had an 01 and an 05 radiator and the mounting brackets on top were different. A good radiator shop could probably modify the brackets on the 05 to work on the 00. The rest of the radiator seemed pretty much the same but I don't have them anymore so can't check for certain.

Yep, Buddy hit the nail on the head, you can move those radiator brackets back so the radiator goes forward to give a little more room from the header and motor mount brackets, plus a thinner aftermarket fan never hurts too much......................................but the down side is a little trimming on the inside of the fairing plus some possible extra rubbing of lowering straps for the drags, all kind of depends.

hmmm but i thought it would be best if i could fix in two 00-01 fans together. No space or can be modified?

No space at all, unless you move the radiator forward............... Or put it on the front side, I have seen it done, but it looks ugly!

i see so i assume the best method is to change to 02-05 fans? if the radiator size of 00-01 same as 02-05?

The upper motor mount brackets are different on an 02-05 which allows for a little more room for the dual fan. Also the motor mounts on the head are different as well so you can not just pick up the 02-05 brackets.
I do beleive he is looking for a little extra cooling in traffic.

extra cooling in traffic can be accomplished by adding an oil cooler not additional fans, I already tried additional fans didnt work..

the oil cooler on the zx12r is a tiny hole behind the oil filter... It doesn't cool anything while the bike is stationary.. I experienced this in Las Vegas with 100 degree weather.. I added an additional push fan on the radiator and it didn't to squat.. The remedy is adding a zx11 sized oil cooler under the radiator.. The first line of defense for engine heat is oil the second is the water and coolant..
