K5 radiator

Has anyone noticed the radiator on the new K5. The rad cap sticks out the side and I think looks a bit naff, also poor security.

On the K4 the right side of the radiator matches the left side asthetically, and the rad cap is up under the fairing - much neater.

I hadn't noticed the cap, but it's probably related to the fact that they've narrowed the rad on the K5.
On the previous versions they were being badly damaged in relatively minor drops because they stick out so much.

My radiator on the k4 is shaped like an upside U from two very slow (15mph) drops, one on each side. I really wish I had a k5 radiator becuase then it would have been ok.

My radiator still works, I don't know how. But it is held on on the left side by a metal circlet my dad fitted. Works perfectly, but creates an annoying buzz at about 8k revs
