So I was riding and thinking yesturday. I have my tank raised so I slipped my fingers under it to feel the air temp. My poor baby is really sucking in some hot air! I was wondeirng if anyone had a way to pull some cooler air in there? The air temps must be about 30-40 degrees hotter under the tank than outside!

I was thinking about cutting a hole in the top of the tank above the air box and welding in a piece of tubing... this would allow the air box to suck air straight down and not have to draw it across the frame & tank (which are hot).

Using the correct size tubing it would also make a nice bevarage holder 8)

Donnie,
That would be awesome! I think that would be so cool to match the top of the filter. That is a lot of work...have to change the tank lid probably.

I run flat slides though...so that wouldnt really help me. I have that speedwerks ram air kit. I was thinking about installing just the carbon fiber tray part to help block some of the heat.

What I really want to do is figure out a way to duct air in along the raised sides of the tank.

raise the tank as much as possible and hook up an automotive heater blower motor.

That is most of the problem... I have a blower on it...its called the radiator fan!
