Hi guys, any options out there to replace the radiator? I think the stock unit is too big and silver.... So maybe something black and smaller?
Thanks!

Definitely paint it. Makes a world of difference and only takes a couple hours.

+1 to painting, but a place in England made a narrower radiator. I posted a pic on here, but I can find the pic on my new computer.
Do a search, and I'll dig up the contact info if you wish.
Here it is:

Here's a reply to my inquiry I got a few years ago:
Thanks for your enquiry into Pace Products.
We have made thinner Ducati Monster water radiators before but only to samples supplied by the customer, and then with drawing of where the modification need to be made.
We would be interested in forming some type of group purchase for this type of radiator, But I would need another sample to work from if any orders were placed.
I look forward to your reply,

+1 Not only do you get extra protection for your radiator and oil cooler, the radiator doesn't look quite so "out there" when it is installed... at least with the black guards.

IIRC, it was as good as the OEM unit. I used to have the website with all the info, but I lost it.
HA!! Found it!!

"With it mounted on the bike, I did the UKMOC Trackday at Mallory Park and I am glad to report that it performed faultlessly. How well, you may well ask? Well, it didn't break, overheat, fall off and stayed sufficiently cool enough not to explode. In a very basic comparison test, the actual radiator temperature was actually lower than my friend's S4 which had just completed the same session. So, in a purely non scientific way, I would say that even though I now have a smaller, better looking radiator – it is also more efficient."
