Foglight Nacelle Question?

[OldDog]

This has probably been discussed a hundred times. Does temporarily removing the foglight nacelles improve airflow under the Tupperware? :dontknow: I remember someone suggesting putting small fans in the nacelle pods. Did this ever pan out, and was it considered a non workable idea? :dontknow:

Did see..!!

a post showing turbo fans in the fog light location with hoses to front and rear cylinder areas. He stated this has helped a great deal with the heat issue. Also saw pic's of scoops on the upper panel below mirrors on RS/GS forcing air down on the upper engine compartment. Can be done and has to help..how much:dontknow:

It might be a little bit unsightly; but it can't help but put more cooling air down into the belly of these beasts! :thumbup:

Would it be worthwhile to resurrect this post/idea, or are we beating a dead horse? :bdh:

Can you find that post?

That horse is already pretty tender... :shocked:
But if you want to take a look at the possiblites that could be done to the inlet area to make it more visually appealing; go for it! :thumbup:

I guess my question is "Can air enter through the Nacelle slot into the engine area? I used to be pretty decent in Visio and Autosketch. (am I dating myself as old or what?) I don't have it on my Mac. I might be able to take some Spyder pictures and scan them in, then literally cut and paste.

On a side note, I'm contemplating going back to work part time so I can buy an ST. I have the funds already, but My wife won't budge on " too much money for a toy" We just celebrated 40 years so I think she'll keep me, though. :roflblack::roflblack:

40 years huh... Yeah; she ain't throwing you back after all this time! :thumbup:
Remember the mantra of the damned; "It's better to beg for forgiveness, than to ask for permission!"

and of course; opening up those foglight holes couldn't help but let air down into the bellywork of the bike! :2thumbs:
The trick might be in making sure that it exits where you want it to... :shocked:
