I reckon your right, those panniers look very radiatorish to me. If both panniers were radiators and the free air around the engine she would have a better chance than most to stay cool, mind you traffic might be sporting unless he has a thermo fan hidden away in there somewhere. I cant really see the rad hoses clearly, I wonder if he runs water thru the frame somehow? The instruments look like Jap ones to me, which means they will work!
