It's not a radiator, it's an oil cooler.

You could pretty much put it wherever you want, as long as some air hits it and it's not too close to the engine.

I have seen them mounted on the right downtube, right underneath (just above the exhaust pipes) the radiator and I have mine mounted at the bottom of the radiator (in front of it).

It is tight for clearance between the fender and oil cooler where I have it so I am watching to see if I have any contact. Been riding it like this for 2 weeks and no problem so far.

Do you mean your gauges?

If so, I don't think any of the wiring is required to be connected in order for the bike to run correctly.

Did you make a bracket for the oil cooler? How did you run the lines?

Theres really no computer its a old carbed bike so no it wont affect anything, ive done it.. And as for the oil cooler I haven't found a solution either to it besides maybe flipping it over and mounting it to the bottom radiator bolts w/ custom bracket.
