Smaller radiator

[cusso ken]

I confess the two things that first attracted me to the R3T when I first saw one on the road was the huge chrome radiator cowl and the 3 chrome exhaust "plumbers pipes" the very things a lot of people want to change ,to me these two things scream Rocket 3 as another Rocket approaches me on the road ,a fairly rare occurrence around here,

Found this on Facebook international Rocket 111 Owners. Didn't say much about it, a bit longer and 53ml thick, apparently the same cooling capacity as original. Original fan and cowl fits. But that was all I could find. I don't know when this was Looks like a 2013 Roadster.

This radiator is build by a member of our german Rocket Forum. As it is made from copper its weight is appr. 5.2 kg, nearly double the weight compared to the stock Radiator. A new cover is in preparation.

YEP a lot of the Rocket riders like the stock radiator and no one ever said anything negative about mine

It does look good. I just wonder how well it cools the bike with that little room for air to escape behind it.

It looks thicker and I guess the fan is still there. It probably works. Maybe some day...

It will probably change the fan turn on time when muttering thru traffic but once the fan comes on I see it cooling just fine. Richard at TTS proved a smaller size yet thicker radiator works well although his is offset.
This one holds the same amount of fluid as the OEM one. He did say for a price he could make ones that fit the NA motors on center but your probably talking a lot of money for a one off. Less if it was a group.

Yeah, I don't really mind the massive truck radiator. I just put a Flipmeister radiator insert on there and enjoy how it all looks.

Don't have any good ones of mine on the bike, but the inserts can be had from http://www.flipmeisters.com/products/signature-products/

Great quality pieces, solid stainless steel, definitely recommended.
