Radiator design

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder ,the two things that first attracted me to the Rocket 3 Touring was the huge Chrome radiator grill and the 3 exhaust header pipes , the things a lot of guys want to change, if you want ugly radiators look at some other liquid cooled bikes ,most of them look like an after thought ,as mentioned previously in this thread the cooling works as designed in hot weather , if it's not broken don't fix it!

Well that's good to know. It's quite a bit narrower than the stock unit, but it's been offset to allow for Warp9.9's inter-cooler. Does it have to be offset (to allow proper mounting and hookup of hoses)? Or can it be centered? I assume it is thicker (more cores) to accommodate the necessary cooling capability and coolant capacity.

Yes please! it's got to be the ugliest radiator on any bike produced. They did a nice job on the Tunderbird, why can't they do that with the Rocket. They could make the tank on the Roadster a bit more streamlined as well.
