Air inlet gasket

[BLACK WIDOW]

Sometime back there was a thread submitted about adding a gasket to the radiator in order to scoop more air through the radiator rather than to the side. I can't remember who submitted the thread and cannot find it in my search. Does anyone know who posted this thread.
would like to ask him a question.:f_spider:

I think that is in the Spyder Shop Talk forum.

I understand the concept but I've been wondering why this is needed. Most riders (and I agree) say that heating is not really a problem when running down the road at speed.

The Spyder heat problems really occur when sitting still (stop and go traffic) or moving slowly. In these conditions cooling is 100% dependent on the electric fan moving air.

Eliminating the gap between the radiator and side panel is not going to affect air movement unless you are traveling at speed.

Like I said, not a bad idea but doesn't seem to address the underlying problem of air movement when going slow or stopped.
