Put the radiator in yesterday and went for some local runs, what a difference, my 180 degree thermostat controlled fan kept cycling in and out (before it went on and stayed on). Today went on a 50 mile ride at 70-75 mph and the temp stayed around 190 degrees. Went down a big hill on the interstate, popped it into neutural and the temp went up real fast, I guess we need the rpm's to keep the coolant flowing.

Aluminum radiator maybe passe but sure works for my ride, and for $170 it is no big deal.

Anyone know what size tubes are in the "three-tube" aluminum radiators?

You will probably have to check the specs on whichever radiator you're looking at. There are differences in tube sizes depending on the brand.
