Radiator Airscoops Superhawk

I ran into this on Speedzilla and thought I'd bring it up you.

Sounds like a great idea, but if my conversions are correct:
480 euros = $689.52 That's too much chedda for me.

swordfish is an unknown quantity at this point
you know, I have sharkskinz and there are no vents for the radiators and my temp gauge has never gone past a point just above half way(98 model). I like carbon fiber bits as much as the next guy but I couldn't justify it it in this case. unnecessary at least in my case.

those are nice but way too expensive for what they are. im sure with a little talent and some sheet metal something similar can be fabbed up and would work just as good

I'm not sure that I see the benefit. A hotter engine is more efficient. A hotter engine makes more power. Racing engines run ~230 F nominally. Obviously you don't want to overheat but beyond that the benefits are minor.
