Electric fan?

[jlh]

Any one put an electric fan on their bike? When I go up trail rideing alot of times I'm in the high rpm's and not getting alot of air flow through the radiator, on a real steep hill. I think a electric fan would help out alot.

youd deffinatly need a high output stator to run one. the other problem is there isnt much room for anything behind the rad. im not sure a fan would fit

I'd think youd be better off with a cool head, engine Ice, and maybe a over sized radiator. Less weight and less hastle,

cool head for what it adds compression so how can it cool down anything and besides the cooling is on the circulation on the radiator so in my op get the radiator with another impeller not the coolhead.

on the old, old forums there were a few threads about this. people have definately done it and there were pics posted. ive no idea if we can access the old forums, i doubt it but the fans can definately be put on the shee

you can put a electric fan on there, one guy did it and it worked well, but i think he had to put up with a bunch of bullshit to do it, cool heads do keep the temp down on your shee, but inline coolers engine ice and a billet impellor are all worth there weight in gold

don't know the effectiveness, of it, but I have been "pondering" the idea of maybe adapting a CPU fan to the back of my radiator, they have a pretty light draw, and are very thin/small, maybe run a pair of them, with out modifying the stator...etc.

you can get these fans very cheap, but don't know if they would have any effect.?

don't know that they pull/push very much cfm... good idea tho, maybe worth a shot.

aluminum head (cool head) will disepates heat better than stock head

I was thinking of a small fan on the front. Maybe take one off a street bike or something small

[hamuel]

front mounted fans are bad!> they block flow of air when riding fast. just to point out

this was done years ago by one of the regulars......it was on the old, old forums as someone said eirlier

 

he used TWO small fans from Radio Shack, and did some weird stuff.....I wish I remembered....I know it didnt cost him much at all.

Liquid cooling at its finest!

fuck that. but i wonder if one could rig up some shit using the factory coolant bottle and some wiper nozzles froma car?

Not sure how long a CPU fan would last in the elements.
