Sportster:
There has been some talk on another forum of figuring out a way to do that, but keeping the headlights. A couple of us have ridden without the inner airbox lid finding that the increased air flow has given real "seat of the pants dyno" gains below 120mph. I can personally attest that over 130mph, the ram air effect makes a huge difference in power. I'll be looking into ways to better the stock config soon.
That pic kinda scares me, hahaha.
(Also interesting are the radiator cutouts...better cooling I assume???) |

Those radiator pod cuts suggest a re-worked pod-box with reversed airflow. If not, the cooling would suck. |

So...what if the airflow was reversed...simply by reversing the fan polarity and cutting up the pod? Better cooling?

Drawkward, can't comment on if reversing the airflow will improve cooling - but it could well improve the engine running as less warm air will be drawn into the airbox. |

Just a note on a comment above. The rads have been forward facing since the 1125RR, but they are split, not front mounted. It is not possible to fit a radiator between the headers and the front tire at full compression. |

Aaaagh not Quick Time.
Sure is great to see that machine from so many angles. Thanks for all the pictures. |
