Yeah their bike look good but they are kind of the oposite of what I am trying to do. They take v-twins and build racing choppers around them. They are all air cooled. Im trying to take a liquid cooled and build a chopper with it... Kind of Bassackwards... Surely you can move the radiator... If it starts getting hot I will just switch to ionized water and an inhibitor package instead of 50/50 water and antifreeze. That will drop your temp 20%.

Only aircooled is untrueRooke has built water-cooled KTMs on occasionstill a V-twin, but sexy nonetheless. And who says you can''t steal ideas, even if it is from a V-twin bike? There really aren''t any new ideas, only fresh executions of good ideas...

So I found the guy who put the radiator behind the engine... He said he is in 100+ heat and stop and go traffic all the time. He hasn''t had any overheating probs at all. I don''t necessarily want it under my seat but if it can be put there with no probs then surely I can think of somewhere to put it other than in the front of the bike...
