Oil cooler

Hello,
I saw this

They say it's smaller but with the same cooling capacity, looks like it's a double row.
What do you think, good idea or bad.

would be good if 14 didnt need one at all. would look much better.

I like how wide they are, they make the bike look bigger. Shame the OE ones fail at about 50k miles.

I know "old" thread.

They say

Nearly the same cooler power as the original cooler.

The difference according to the info I found is 15° Celsius.

Two 14, one with original cooler, one with the little rf-biketech cooler.

No ambient temperature given. Must have been end of June in Germany.

After Autobahn @ ~ 130 km/h
Original 60°
RF-Biketech 75°

County roads @ ~70-100 km/h
Original 55°
RF-Biketech 70°

Stopp 'n Go
Original 80°
RF-Biketech 95°

Wouldn't even put the thing on in Germany as we do get your normal summer temps once in a while. The little fan would get a heart attack during a stop and go.
