Radiator fins?
I have them courtesy of the previous owner on the stock body work. However the Sharkskinz have nada right now. Are they worth it and who sells a good locking set?

Re: Radiator fins?
I think Pete and SMTB both had them. Try searching under one of their names.

Re: Radiator fins?
I want a set for looks, but I'm not sure that they do very much for cooling.

I think that Moriwaki is the original, but there's a guy on rc51.com who just started making them.

Re: Radiator fins?
Just did a quick search at ROGUE.

The general opinion is that they do pull some air at speed and help a bit. There seems to be a disagreement over whether or not they increase radiator damage in the event of a low-side.

Hope this helps.

Re: Radiator fins?
mrgrn over on the Speedzilla (rc51.com) site just started making them. They're cheap, and he does good work. Mori was the original, and there are few others available. Squidskins make a set as well. Don't know nothing about how well they work though...
