Listen! That's the sound of power. It's coming from the Boulevard S83's liquid-cooled, 45-degree V-twin engine. And if you think it sounds strong, wait until your first ride. The S83 pumps out an incredible amount of torque for acceleration that you dream about.

And it says: 83 cubic inch, four-stroke, air/oil cooled, 45 degree V-twin, SOHC, 6-valves. Oil is a liquid, so maybe that's what they mean? It says the same thing all the way down to 2006. Because that small RAD up top is not large enough for an 800, let alone a 1400. There is no RADIATOR on the S83, it is an oil cooler; go to the dealer and LOOK.

Looking at the schematics from bikebandit, it has an oil cooler and not a radiator.

(Of course anyone looking at a picture of the bike would know that...there's simply no radiator there)

I think if he wanted to put a smaller radiator he could but it would definitly need fans. the fans on the M's rad unbolt and can be made to work on anything he decides to put on the bike.
If he dosen't sit in traffic for too long he will be fine.

On another note I agree with snafu and would love that radiator cover on my bike but our bikes are treated like they don't exist by the aftermarket and it pisses me off--sorry had to get that out--LOL
