This may be really stupid but, the fan assembly/shroud that goes around the fan behind the rad, do you have to have it on there? Might overheat? Mine shattered into 1000 peices so not having to buy on would be one less thing to worry about. Thank you

 

It helps a lot at lower speeds. Having said that I haven't had one on my rig in quite a while. Mine broke apart also and I just haven't had time to install the new one I have. I think you'll be ok but I would recommend getting one back on there.


I'll be doing mine in a few weeks if don't decide to go with an electric.

 

Oh awsome nice, yeah right now I just dont have the extra cash to buy a new one yet so thats awsome. Thank you

 

If it helps any I actually didn't buy a new one. I got in touch with Deathcougar on here and bought an original from him, well I actually contacted Jennifer but they are the same company/person/entity for OEM Toyota parts. I got it in a shipment with a pile of other goodies so I can't remember what it cost but I guarantee it was a lot less than a new/after market one.

 

Yup, try Deathcougar and google Nix99.

 

are you talking about the entire shroud that's held to the radiator with the 4 bolts, or just the little 2" or so slip that runs on the bottom of the shroud, that's just clipped in?

 

Run it without it, if it starts to act up, get one.

on a side note, do you have a FIT bike? Ride bmx much? i havent in a wile but still have my bike. its an older eastern shovelhead.

 

I didnt have a shoud on my runner when I bought it, I didnt really notice any temp problems for the 8 months I didnt have one, but I threw one on there just to be safe haha.

 

The one with the 4 bolts yeah the entire shroud.

Yeah, well actually I used to, fits parts have gone to now. Like trucks they dont build them like they use too. Yeah I ride alot and have been riding for almost 8 years now soo yeah bmx is awsome!


Thanks everybody else for the replies!
