    I like that idea! Kind of kills it if you want to use the up front area for some kind of storage, but hey I would as well as some others, I am sure would prefer performance over storage.

    Hi David
    I actually have lots of storage in the front.
    I am going to add a large foam block in front (like a 30 gallon cooler) as crash protection and internal storage.
    My main radiator is in the rear. The small radiator you see is for my Awic. I will be adding a duplicate radiator for the air-water-oil cooler.

    Bob, soon as I read this post I knew there was something familiar about what you were saying. So I went back and checked some older posting in some of my 818 threads. Said to myself "oh yeah Bob is the one who asked me to mockup some rear venting for him and said why"

    Now that I see the smaller rad in the front, you do have lots of room.
