Radiator Install

I didn't need it, thought I would wait to see how far I went with mods before installing a radiator. But for $125 shipped for a Fluidyne Evo specific radiator with 4000 mi on it, I couldn't pass it up. Fitment was pretty good but not perfect. On the passenger side you will notice it runs a tad off from the shroud. This is because it hits the A/C bracket. I'll grind the bracket a little next spring for a more perfect fit. The other issue was the fan. Should have test fitted before mounting radiator and connecting hoses. The posts drop into the lower mounting bracket holes, but I think the fan shroud hits the lower hose, causing the upper mounting holes to be slightly to high. Going to enlarge the upper mounting holes on the fan shround and I'll be able to install the bolts. For know it's zip tied. Everything operates and cools fine, no leaks.

Not sure of the name, bought new for $17 shipped, seems to filter good. Over 3 years old still looks almost new.
