that was i was going to do on mine until i got my custom made rads,frank does sell them on their own.
if you mount the rad flat under floorboards and put a fan on top blowing down that might work , i did see a gp that had a rad and fan where air box is but didnt get a pic sorry.

Yeah that will make it quite low though for speed bumps :( , the scomadi is high to start with so it has a little more room

Hi Lee, I think (hope) the rad is big enough, as im only cooling the head, the idea was to do it as subtle as possible. but im now thinking, just stick it on the front of the leggie and show it off ! :D :D :D :D
I could do with you casting you eye over the head ive got ;) to see what you think :?
How you engine coming on ? you havent updated your thread lately ?
