Triumph guy happy he didn't work for Harley.
I would have been all over that but I couldn't get Sparky out if the way. So I just let it go.

The water pump is just a needless parasitic drain of power anyway. I've disconnected them on all my vehicles.

Been doing fine, responsive and strong whenever called upon. I thank Konrad for his magic and you for introducing me to him. Very satisfied. Who knows, may purchase a radiator like yours and chase a few more horses. Looking forward to your results and expecting good things.Ive been rocking the $225 i think, Chinese one, that does work, but its hardware and material kinda cheesey bendy, its a 225 radiator, stock 1200, PWR is professional and a very good price we’re gettin. cheaper than stock, its an improvement over stock like the samco hoses that are cheaper than stock but an improvement. The dyno will tell even if its 30 degress out because Konrad goes through 1 and into 2nd five gallons when tuning on dyno, so its gonna go hot but i have the 165 degree thermostat from Australia, ofcourse hello,learnin

The coolant temp should be at 83-87 degrees C on your tune ECU for best power. Whatever that is in F. 165 seems a bit cool to me. I'll have to look it up.

Kevin, know how you had the head ported for better flow? Now take off the water pump, open the housing and do the same. Bore the inlet and outlet to maximize flow area. Then go find a thermostat that opens as far as possible, not just one that opens earlier. And no, they are not all the same and can vary greatly depending on brand. You may find putting an inline housing and thermostat works better than one in the stock location. Next, run the system at high pressure all the time. Most heat soak problems come from letting off the throttle reducing coolant flow and pressure. Reduced pressure equals lower boiling point, and steam bubbles don't cool well. An accumulator pressurized to almost match the radiator cap relief pressure, will keep the system pressurized all the time. You have the perfect opportunity to explore as your bike is on the dyno now and you have bottomless pockets.

Im expected to perform if i get upgrades. I have to work for every pony i get and it can be exhaustingKevin, know how you had the head ported for better flow?

They never said it would be easy, just" WELL WORTH IT". You can make it happen.

And remember my friend. 10 pounds off of you means 1 HP. We expect you around 120 lbs by spring.
