    Does anybody happen to know if the Gen 1 and 2 radiator for the vstrom 650 is compatible? I posted on stromtrooper too but the thread isn't exactly pointing north. Where to find such information would be helpful too. I know that the part numbers are different but idk if it's a mount bracket change or if it's something like a change in 16 to 32 bit electonics.

    Aftermarket/universal suggestions are welcome too along with what to look out for in doing a swap like that.

    Thanks in advance people with the knowledge.

    You definitely want the 32 bit one.
