I know at least one person (turbotexas) who runs a honda goldwing radiator and fan set up on there odysseys, and i was wondering 1. if any body else had gone this route? 2. Was mounting it easy? Did it fit in alright? and 3. Does it work very well? Would it just be overkill for wyoming? Thanks!

Only bad thing about the goldwing is there is no threaded bung for the fan switch... But easy enough to include on in the hose line...

I did think of one other question, do you guys run coolant pumps on your set ups or do you just let it thermosiphon?

Thermo and a fan switch is all you will need... No need to put another electrical draw on the battery, OR have it FAIL without you knowing the pump quit...

Here's the thread of one of ours, I have a second one ready and waiting for the time to install and will make the bottom bracket slightly different on that one so the radiator outlet lines up better with the heads inlet.
