The rad relocation and Perma Cool fan is the single greatest mod I've done to my 420 yet. The bike didn't run this cool when it was brand new and perfectly clean, I thought I was getting the radiator clean enough but it was getting so the temp light would pop on in every other hole I sunk into. It got quite annoying so I decided to look into this subject myself and after a little thinking I decided to go ahead and do it. It was extremely easy, looks pretty good if I do say so myself, and was dirt cheap to do. I got less then 25 bucks into it counting the paint and coolant! The only thing that I would say is a prob is if you roll the bike, but if you are like me then you prob won't get into any situations that you could do it. The way I see it about trees hitting it and stuff is if the tree is low enough to hit it, its going to hit me too so I'm going around that spot lol. Heres a couple pics of mine.
