to mount front radiators or not to mount front radiators that is the Q.

Hello,
I'm about to purchase a front mounted radiator & oil cooler kit for the RC but my question is if i eliminate the fans which i have to do if i go with the front radiator, unles i'm at the track or constantly moving wont the bike heat up just as bad and no rad. fans to cool it down? i dont ride the RC at the track so im wondering if thats a mod that i really want or not?
does anybody have any experience with front mounted rad's in everyday riding conditions ?

I think the front mount radiator would only be a good idea on the track if you can't install a fan with it. Home in Idaho I think I would be okay 99% of the time also as it is easy to pick a route with few stops and little traffic. Here in Iowa my bike would probably overheat the first time I went out. So. Cal seems like it would be bad.
