    I'm certain this topic has been covered but has anybody done any aftermarket fan? I'm looking at the thing and someone has to have made a simple bracket and then just attached a fan to that. I can't see why you would have to use the original housing.

    The original housing does a great job of sealing the areas around the fan, so that it can work more efficiently - you only want a very small space around the fan blades, the rest should be enclosed. So if you do end up putting an aftermarket fan in there, be sure to make at least a partial shroud for it.

    I believe we found the actual fans used in a thread about a year ago. ericz (I believe) knew what they were. The shroud is the special part which is Buell specific.

    I have the fan housing from my old fan, it's yours, just pay shipping. I'll be home this weekend and can mail it on Saturday

    think the name is on the back of the fan, Italian made...there is a thread about it with links from early to mid 2012 time frame to the manufacture listing several models and two out of group were compatible from what I can remember
