I didn't have to change the bottom support. The radiator fit perfectly.

I didn't try a dual fan on the original radiator so I'm not sure of the results. But, the BeCool keeps the engine temp around 175-185 when driving above 40-50mph. Otherwise, it gets up to around 200-210 in town.

I don't let it do that without having to stop anyways so it's no concern for me. If it gets too hot for my tastes, I either stop or find an open road and cool it off.
