Gary W.,
The half-size bottles are a good deal easier to find a place for just in
front of the overflow tank. Adding another right next to it - but on
the other side of the wheel well, is out-of-sight, yet gives you the
capacity of a full size tank easily. Only a nylon "T" bar is needed,
and it won't overflow the smaller capacity tank.
Of course I attacked to engine cooling problem before, as related in the
TigersUnited article "Cool it Buddy!":

as shown on page 2, fitting very cosily between the stock tank and just
behind the front radiator brace.
Maybe it's "belts and suspenders", but it couldn't hurt!
