is this an upgrade?
i just swapped a 2nd gen rad into the 85 gs, would this be considered an upgrade or just swapping same for same. it sure does run cooler but i think my old rad may have been clogged a little. im going to have it rebuilt at petes in corpus then prolly sell it, or trade it. i really need some tail lights for the 85, as it will not pass inspection cause the covers are missing.

When I put mine in, I noticed the same thing. Runs much cooler, so I didn't even reinstall both of the cooling fans because there was no need.
Also, some of the 2nd gen rads were aluminum. This is a weight savings, and also cuts down on the number of different metals in the system which can be a good thing. Unfortunately, the one I got was copper.
