Airflow Shrouds

While I was repairing the bodywork and had fiberglass all over, I added some air flow restrictor plates to the inside of the front fairing. I also mounted a piece of aluminum on the front forks. Together, they should help direct more air toward the radiator by keeping it from coming up behind the front fairing and over the tank.

These are just pieces of cardboard with a couple thin coats of fiberglass over them.

The opening is just a bit wider than the forks.

This is a piece of a broken aluminum step ladder mounted to the horn and stock brake line "T" mounts.

This is what it looks like when the front fairing is mounted.

Before adding the shrouds, this view would have shown a space where you could see down to the front fender.

It's hard to say for sure whether this will really help the radiator or not. There is a definite change in the airflow going past my helmet when fully tucked in, so I do think that a fair amount of air did flow up behind the fairing before adding the shrouds.
