Exposed downpipes.

I saw this bike on facebook, I'm not overly keen on the styling but I do like the re-positioned radiator and the exposed exhaust down pipes.

With the rad. buried where it is, it has minimal if any static air-flow and the fan would probably be running constantly. The charging system can barely keep up with the "normal" fan-cycling. Regardless; Creative and neatly done !

Maybe he has figured a way to somehow upgrade the charging system. Perhaps LED lighting could reduce the load enough?

There is a slight vacuum created behind a bike as it travels down the road so that would pull some air through the rad, but I agree, that fan will be running a lot of the time

That is one very large fan , and three or four rows of rad tubing- that should work.
The last of 3 cylinder Benelli's TRE had the rad under the passenger seat , exhausting onto the rear tyre.
John Britten did the same design with his V1000 in the 1990's.

I Like it! Might just be enough to restart my radiator relocation project.


I was planning to disguise the radiator in the left side saddlebag. with a booster pump and a fan.
