I've used a single (right side) rad from a Boxster.

I think you'd want to use automotive radiators, all of the motorcycle ones I've ever seen don't have the volume to keep up. Plus the inlet/outlet diameters are small. A couple of Boxter ones, or the standard one in the middle is probably the way to go. My custom single one works great, but I've got it in a space that standard front suspensions won't allow for.

Jason,
Is your custom one made by the place in Arizona? If you don't mind me asking what size it is and what did it cost?

The old rad was 24"x8" and the new one is 27"x7".

It's the place in Kingman AZ, Custom Radiators. Brian is a great guy, does a great job, and a good price. I think the new one is $467, if you need the exact price I can get it.

He could make 2 rads for you whatever size you wanted. Make sure your plans include a fool proof bleed location.
