    Guys, I was thinking about getting an all aluminum constructed single radiator for my 84. Maybe a bit bigger than the larger top one. Think it would cool? Was going to look at a more slim line styled fan as well. Does anyone know the cfm rating on the stock electric cooling fans?

    Here's what Honda had to do on their racebikes.

    There is only so much room available on that bike. Going bigger (and thicker) in any direction other than down the sides will inteefere with the clearance between the front valve cover and the tire and screw up how the upper cowl mounts.

    Granted a street bike isn't creating nearly the heat that a race bike will, but you don't have much room to play with trying to go to one rad.
