Thanks

Gary,

Where are you going to park the radiator?

As you probably remember, mine is under the seat/rear wheel arch and it may be running a tad too hot (75C)?

I was toying with an additional, min oil cooler style at the front. I can hide that.

Frame looks fun.

It won't have a radiator as such.
Just a 20-row oil cooler plumbed for water and mounted in the same place as an original X75's oil cooler.
Thought you had a fan fitted to the under seat radiator?

Gary, I do have a fan. It currently cuts in around 70C but I was trying to maintain around 65C in the loop.

I was also trying to find out what the normal Kettle running temp was? I know the thermostat cuts in around 80C but what the normal loop temp? I don't have a standard kettle anymore so cant measure it.

Can't you programme the fan to run all the time so it draws air through the rad and get it to cut off at a lower temp?

That's what I plan to do with the XR11/73's under seat radiator set up.
