Looks great Ant, what rad did you use and was it an easy fit?

Hello Duffy, it's an sv650 rad and it's a tight fit. Need to figure out a way to adjust the steering lock stops still as the forks jjjuuuussstt touch the rad. The key was using two small fans from a cbr125 rather than a single larger one. I also fitted a larger oil cooler which compensates for the lower water volume. I rode it on the hottest day of the year last year through Brighton at very low speed for quite a while and it coped with it very well. Also still need to sort out the brackets they were only suppose to be tempory....

Thanks for the info may see if the SV rad will fit with the blade front end on mine, but will be tighter than a standard storm front end as blade forks are larger diameter.

.
You’ve done a neat job on yours with lots of nice touches. Well done
