A good design for a slimmer radiator would be a great feature. I'd be very interested where you end up on this. |
I am looking into this and JHP were looking into doing some slimmer rads - haven't heard anything for a while though.
I think that the width could come in by 1.5-2 inches either side and the thickness could be increased. This would make the rad be in line with the rest of the frame without sticking out either side. I guess that running either one fan or two smaller fans would sort the cooling.
I was also posted a few other options to recover the capacity. Increase the water flow (speedymoto pump). And increase the system pressure and use evans coolant.
I also think that just by painting it black, it will lesssen the optical bulk of it. Mine has been painted just as a short term fix until we can look at the rad seriously - I need to let my fingers do the walking and find 'the radman'. Anyone recommend anyone?
