Hi all,
Can anyone tell me how to better cool my RB?
I have a close fit head cowl and large fin flywheel with gaps sealed between fan cowl and head cowl. I'm just looking for something a bit better so if anyone could answer the following through experience that would be great....

1. Does removing the exhaust splash guard help?
2. Will removing some, or all of the fan cowl grills help or does it make no difference as some have told me?
3. Does removing the runner plate/guard next to the fan intake help?
4. Any type of scoop I can make that's proven to help cooling?

Thanks in advance. :D
Eric.

Put a Ron Moss Avanti head with matching cowling on it, massively improved cooling 8-)

I never run a splash plate always trim the foot board and always trim the lip on the mag flange
but coasters way is probably the best
