Is there anyone who makes a cooler w/ some type of refrigerant involved? As we all know coolers only work when bike is moving and when it's moving you don't really need them. I w/ be interested in one that could cool when at idle or stuck in traffic. Any info is appreciated.

I for one have never bought in to the notion that coolers do not work when not moving. Am I wrong in thinking that convection still takes place? It may not be as effective but it is still working.

"x1 fan kit", how does that work?

On what does the fan blow?

sorry, I'm among those who saw the kit on the Buell web site, and didn't know what it was for. I wondered between rear cylinder and oil cooler, or what?
Anyway, that's enough info on that, thanks.


I also don't know what an XB series fan blows on.

Or maybe it just sort of blows 'out' and pulls in cool air from the front?

Jay, that was meant as an inside joke between me and Dj. No offense meant. That old thread got "heated" up a little.
