New Radiator for R1

---

So I just finished plumbing my new radiator. I was using a Honda radiator, but I found that it struggled to keep the engine cool when running hard for long periods of time.

I realize I'll get criticized for having it so close to the kids' seats, but keep in mind I don't dune with the kids in the car. Kids are only in the Rhino when cruising or putting down the beach at Pismo.

You'll notice two fans on the radiator. One is wired to a thermostat switch, and the other is on a manually operated switch. This allows me to turn the fan on whenever I like. It's also a fail-safe in case one fan/relay/thermostat goes bad. I also had the radiator builder add bungs specifically for the R1 engine (1" in/outlets, oil cooler coolant return, purge air return, thermostat, and water temp sending unit). So far it looks good and idles at around 175 with fan off. I'll update this post after I get to run the Rhino for a while.
