I'll be using the RC51. The GSXR is a last resort. Also if would probably cool too much in the winter.


The cool thing about lines is you see where the crimp is. You can actually cut that off and reveal a nipple where the hose slide onto.

I don't think running too much rad area is really a problem... come on

Not for an air cooled sissy bike like yours. The main problem is the side rads. The weird is it runs like every vfr in the summer. 180's on the highway and in the 200's in traffic or slow riding, but in the winter it has a hard time keeping 170F on the highway. I've changed the T-stat and even block 1 rad, but barely keeps it in the "warm" range. I'll defiantly have to block oil rad now.
