All that and he uses a 2 row cooler rather than the easily available 3 row.

But what do I know?

He lives in England mate.
It never gets above 23*c.
What would he want a three row for?

 

As the man said, unless you need more cooling then the standard 2 row is fine. Plus the dirt baffle I fitted below the cooler & the air intake above it mean its more efficient than as standard due to pressure differences across the cooler, pulling more air through it. But the option exists for anyone to do this, however they see fit.

 

That's a very cool mod. It looks the the new lines would be more flexible than oem which should make doing the valves and replacing the front spark plugs easier.

 

Yep, you can just unbolt the cooler & it will drop down. I discovered that where I cable tied them to the rad mounts, that you need to add small inlets to the front fairing insert above the exhaust manifolds.
