    I think you'll find there's no room, unless you get really creative. Take your fork springs out and compress the front suspension all the way to the stop. The front wheel will be in the space where you are thinking about mounting a rad.

    It has been done, but with race plastics (or aftermarket street plastics), & gutting everything in front of the cylinders (have to relocate Oil cooler too).

    It's common on RC51's to do that for racing, & the VFR800 to 1000R engine swap I did, we placed the radiator up front (Used the RC51 kit & modded it a little).

    If you find a kit, your looking @ around $800.00 plus to do it, Plus the aftermarket plastics, paint, so $1500 on up is what your looking at to do it.

    :unsure: still want to do it now :wink:
