Hmmmm  , I would have thought that if the grille is less restrictive it would allow the fan to work a bit easier as it would'nt have to struggle as much to draw air in? Kinda along the same lines as fitting a free flow air filter no? |

So what I'm thinking is cut out the grille similar to the exhibit 4, then use a 140mm 12 volt dc fan instead of the mechanical. What kind of current excess is available on average or is it dependent on the bike?

What is the advantage of electric fan over the mechanical one? Nothing
Adding a second fan can be an advantage but you need at least a 152 mm all aluminum axial fan with ball bearings and 6 or 8 blades. Get the highest CFM you can find...

Ok, we now need another fan in front of the fan on the stator to push the air into the pulling fan on the stator. We are dealing with what we have and you think air passing by something is going to bring in more air than if pointing something into the air stream. Maybe the airplane engines should have the fans on the side to prevent the birds from going into it and damaging them. Alleyoop LOL you just reminded me of flightline in the winter, engine wringout and check and us smartasses chuckin Big snowballs in the airflow of the engine.Drives the operator nuts RPM exhaust temp etc rofl |
