I know this is an older thread, but did you ever figure out a good setup to cool your bike?

Actually yes, I haven’t built it yet cause my bike has been down anyway, but I’m using two 1/8 inch thick steels (from a dodge 46re) to hold two four inch spal fans. They will mount like other kits but be very low profile. I’ll be powdercoating the assembly black.

Since i also plan to vent my ac I may also mount the catch can in between.

not to throw a turd in your punch bowl. But, the love
jugs that were cloned from Wards have proven themselves. So, if you really want to do your own...build an equivalent to them. But, it’ll likely cost you more.

You could be right but so so far I have about 60 bucks into it so I figured I’d go for it. If it doesn’t work, then I’ll at least enjoy trying. I just don’t like how bulky the lj or wards are. I forget the exact numbers, but when I was looking for fans, I found that the ones I chose actually flow higher than the jugs. We’ll see what happens. Either way I’ll have fun with it.

I know this is old thread but I built a couple 250cfm fans.
I will mount them to my aluminum glove boxes on both sides.
Im hoping by blowing air down both sides of engine
It will keep temps down in slow traffic.
