Ram air ducts.

[tony.mon]

I'm sorting out ram air and using the triangular nose ducts- they normally just feed air to the rads, but I'm making an alternative flow provision for that- but I want to find some scoops or ducts that will fit, or can be made to fit the std holes in the fairing. They're not aerodynamically efficient, as they're at an angle and although air will flow in, I want something that guides more air in if possible.

I'm not precious about chopping the fairings about to mount it or adapt something.
Can you keep your eyes open at bike meets or in car parks, to see if anything looks likely?

It'll mean I haven't got to start making more moulds than necessary, as I'm not very good at it!

Thanks,
Tony

Wouldn't it be worth using some plastic flexi hose, similar to a hoover pipe, then you'd need to mould it to the fairing scoops.?

Cbr600rr 03-04 fairing air scoops triangles might work .

Another one to look at is the cbf600 f scoops I think the model is fx

Nice blackface tup there

I used to have to shear them when I were a lad




And no, shear is not a euphemism for shag.... That would be homosexual, you only shag the ewes

Whatever it is, I imagine it would most definitely would be damned dangerous... Those things have a temper, and damned hard heads... Seen one go through a wall when annoyed, and just shake it off...

triumph speed 4 has got a big scoop/funnel on it ?? both sides I believe.

That's not the difficult bit, I can use the Storm interior sections and just fill the gaps and holes to make it into a section of trunking.
It even has a cutaway that looks about right for the turn into the frame hole.

I have found that using welders gloves and a hot air paint stripper gun I can just mould sections of gutter and drain pipe to the shapes I need.
It's the external part; scoops that stick out slightly from the fairing front face to gather more air in that I'm after.

Thanks for those suggestions, keep them coming!

....and now your older, you don`t have to shear anymore as you can afford your own......

If you can shape wood, and have a place to do some resin work, making a mold and covering with fiberglass or even Carbon fiber is not a huge deal

Tony's Mk1 Ram Air Scoop was a little on the large side to be that effective for the purpose he wanted...
