Nice thing about that is you can increase the capacity.

I note that it's from Shandong, China. Hopefully it will work for you. It certainly looks like a nice piece of kit.

Looking at making it a bit narrower and a bit taller but 3 core copper/brass not aluminium.

It will be 1.25” thick.

Hey Mittzy I’ve been down under years ago. I want to go back sometime in the future. Went from Burliegh Head to Green Island with a girl friend and had a great time. Cheers.

Please let us know how it fits. It looks nice enough to run without the shrouds. I'd consider getting one and taking it to a machine shop to grind down the shroud fixing points, paint it black and run with it.

The radiator with shrouds has been an issue with many Rocket owners, that is, too darn big. The all black ones are more subdued but the chrome shrouds stick out an Edsel front end to me.

I’m thinking about painting also but I really need to see it on the bike first.
