V8 Trike Radiators & Fans

[drumdoctor]

To all those who have a V8 trike and have the radiator and fan attached to the front down tubes---

Do you ever have stones, rocks and debris hit the fan & radiator?

Does the fan and radiator sustain any damage?

Has the damage ever stopped you from riding until you got the damage repaired?

Thank you.

Happy Holidays!

Not yet, but it is possible.

a mud flap on the front fender will help a lot -- keep it close to the road

Part 2 for this topic...

1--Which works better:
1 large fan or smaller twin fans?

2--Fans are rated by the CFM of air they move right?

3--How do you buy a fan or fans? (Which one to buy?)

4--How do you buy a radiator? (Single pass, Double pass etc...?)

Thanks & Happy New Year!!!

Check out the Fanman website I'm sure he will have all your answers or will be able to steer you in the right direction.

Thanks for the heads up to this site. I am currently building a trike and this site should come in handy. Not wnting to hijack your thread but has anyone rear mounted a radiator and run their coolant through the chassis rails? I thought about doing this but I still have to check if I am able to do it under local certification rules.
