Urban, I try to keep it under 9K, its not easy to do in first gear. I have a prior post of a log in this thread. Check it out, look at the time axis.
Thanks for the positive feedback everyone, I enjoy fabricating and sharing what I come up with. It should all pay off next year.
Update:
I just wrapped up my half radiator installation. I modified the inlet and outlets to increase the size up to 1.5", chopped off the filler neck and covered it up, fabricated new mounts, added a petcock valve, and to wrap it up made a new overflow tank.
Weight savings ended up being 17+ pounds. Kind of crazy, more than what I expected. I weighed both radiators filled with water to make the comparison. Some of the weight was due to removing the extra radiator fan too.
