    Does anybody know of any aftermarket fans for bikes?

    I know Craig Davies make good car ones but I dunno if they have the flow
    rate needed or if the current draw is too much.

    Any ideas?

    Depends on the bike.
    The fans you'll use on a bike will usually be 8" or 10".
    Davies Craig is a good choice in my experience.
    You should just aim to cover as much of the available radiator surface
    area as possible.

    Why not just have a look around your local bike wrecker & see if you can
    find something suitable from an existing bike.

    a PC case fan is the easiest option

    really, what gives you that idea ?

    the easiest option is to visit the wreckers and find something that will fit

    PC fans are feckin useless. They flow about as much air as farting in the
    wind.

    They work great for Regulator/Rectifiers. The P2 Clipon fan is exactly
    the same sizze as my RR too :)

    my fan has come on once in 4 years, when I was testing it to see if it
    worked.

    you can run a 10' davies craig easily off a cbr600f4i
    works a treat.
    we run it on a race car (with the cbr motor), but i dont think it would be
    a dramas due to all the DAQ and other fancy shit we run at the same time
    without a prob

  10. Where do you mount a three metre fan on a bike?

    I'm less than 2 metres and I've never been much of a fan but I reckon' it'd
    be "laying backwards along the tank".
