the tear down begins

So ive finally got the regulator and ive started tear down of rear section ..and its the start of a over haul... Im running my super hawk naked (no fairings) but ive heard it causes less air flow to radiators ..should i go with custom vents or should i be fine? And does anyone have any tips on the install of the regulator...any problems or mishaps

prob some info if you search street fighter radiator or something close to that.. I think I've seen people mount them up front?

DEFINATELY disconnect your battery before starting.

And agree %100 with wolverine. More ive just plain read here more I know. Tons of great stuff here

I ran side rads and naked for a summer in Phoenix with no overheating issues. Every rider has a different experience, but with a properly working cooling system there's not likely to be a problem. Many others have as well. Most people ditch the side rads for aesthetic issues, not functional ones.

hello..

I ran part rads and nude for a summer time in Arizona with no heating up problems. Every driver has a different experience, but with a effectively maintained air conditioning system there's not likely to be a problem. Many others have as well. Most people dump the part rads for visual problems, not efficient ones.if you have problem about gate auto gate repairing is the best

He's probably just being friendly Matt wow. Or he's picturing 7 running nude

I don't care if he is drunk. I want to see a write-up on his air conditioner system mod. It gets pretty hot and muggy here in Illinois and a/c would be sweet.

I hope the write-up includes some dyno numbers to show how much HP is lost to driving the a/c compressor.
