Well, the original VFR Reg/Rec was finned too, but the replacements have circa 4 times the radiating area of the originals and have their components spaced a bit farther apart as well. (Guess how I know.) Why Honda thought that a 3" square air vent that sat directly behind the rider's left thigh would deliver enough air to cool the Reg/Reg is a good question.
