And btw, and speaking of the Scout, while I kind'a sort'a like the looks of it, I can't help thinkin' I wish the boys at Polaris, like the boys in Hinckley with the latest water-cooled Bonneville line, had added fins to its engine.

(...but then again for those who have been around here a long time, you know how I've always felt about fins on an engine, and how the general lack of them along the cylinder barrel area on the Triumph Thunderbird was always kind of a sticking point for me, doncha?!)

Honda has the solution, fake bolt on cooling fins! The Shadows have them and they could be a cruiser accessory for those who prefer the traditional look on their radiator equipped bikes. And they make small displacement engines look bigger kind of like a padded bra for motorcycles.
