RE: Added Cowling

Looks good! I've had one on back order for almost a month. I'm getting one from the Drag Specialties Fat Book that is similar to yours but has a cut out in front. My plans are to use it to cover an oil cooler / fan combination.

RE: Added Cowling

Aren't you completely defeating the object of fitting an oil cooler by covering it?

He said he had an oil cooler/fan combo.

Hey AmphibSailorcan you post a pic of that combo? I'm curious what it looks like. Do you think the chin spoiler will cover it up completely and allow good airflow with the fan?

RE: Added Cowling

I'll post a pic as soon as I get it installed. The cowling was supposed to be delivered to the dealer on the 18th and then shipped out to me. I have to mail order everything. ...can't afford the prices the Korean's have to pay for HD stuff.

I can't take credit for the idea, because I got it from a guy off one of the forums. He said the combination worked out well.

With any luck, I'll put my pics up in a couple of weeks. The pic below came from http://www.bamph.com/rmh/oilfan.htm
