bburg5 Posted June 2, 2009 Report Share Posted June 2, 2009 Is their or has anyone tried using a fan to keep it cool? I thought of an oversized radiator, but thought this might work better if someone has tried it. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2001Stroker Posted June 3, 2009 Report Share Posted June 3, 2009 I'm planning on doing this on my bike. You have to do a DC conversion with enough wattage to run a fan, lights, and ignition. You also need to mount a battery on the bike, and wire a weather-proof thermostat for the fan. The only problem is finding one that is thin enough to mount behind the radiator. You could put one in front of the radiator, but it wouldn't look the greatest. I can't find one thin enough to go behind the radiator. Here's the only one that I can find that's small enough to fit in front of the radiator. Scroll down to the 106/Pusher specs. http://www.flex-a-lite.com/auto/html/trimline-fan.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
