Since you mention driver side header tank that rules out the Taurus rad
for our use anyway. The tubes run side to side like my Cougar so the
rad cannot be cut down to fit.

Paul,
 Not sure what size rad your looking for but have you looked into
motorcycle rads? Liter size sport bikes get thrown down and totaled by
insurance companies with some regularity so they should be available at
salvage and since they are designed as streetable race bikes they tend to
have light efficient radiators. My VTR-1000 for example uses 2 aluminum
rads with cores roughly (Im guessing since the bike is home today)
5"X16"X.75". Incidentally the rads on this bike are aligned absolutely
parallel to the airflow to keep the bike narrow. Airflow has to make 2 90
degree turns to get thru the core. The bike amkes about 100HP stock with
race versions around 130HP. As far as I know the race bikes have no heating
problems and my streetbike certainly never runs hot.
