I would think a small radiator would work fine for paved tracks.  Longer runs would take some more thought though.

I looked at the YZ radiators this morning. The right side radiator I think would work well with minimal work...I think. All though, to mount it the way I envision the radiator cap would be on the side....hmm

Finished the rear brake setup.   I used a Sportster rear master cylinder.  They seem to work well for me and are easy to mount with an integral reservoir.    Kawasaki ZX7 rear caliper.

The radiator is a trial fit.  Stock it too high and too big.  I will need to find a solution.

What does the small hose from the radiator go to?

The small hose goes to an oil cooler.

Years ago I build a pull tractor with a liquid cooled snowmobile engine. I used a radiator off a CX500..I think. That radiator would fit up in the frame, then just a matter of running lines to a cooler for the oil, if needed. Perhaps a small oil cooler like the XB's use would suffice on that end. Let me do some digging to see if I can figure out what I used.

The oil filter base is a heat exchanger using engine coolant from a water pump bypass.  The hose runs from the water pump to the oil filter base and then to the radiator.  I have a radiator from a CBR250.  It is tiny and the hose connections are small.  Best option might be to cut down the stock radiator.

The Charge Dodger is Steve Von Blarcom's.  Real deal 440 Six Pack.  I brought the bike to Steve's annual Land Speed open house at his shop.
