great work guys 

Geez Kevin a van seems kinda like overkill? LolI'm thinking about just a van to push the warm air out and at the same time melt ice on the intercooler

I can get closer pics tomorrow it's a cat 9000 grill with frog skin wrapped around it I had laying around from vents I made for my nytro. Total prolly $40 in materials and 1/2 hour time.Very hard to see in pictures. Can you post some more? Also how much and where from? Thank you. This is a fantastic site!

Just wanted to provide an update on this. I now have around 600 miles on the radiator and fan. Unfortunately all of the testing miles were in good snow conditions so I really can't verify the true effect of the fan during marginal conditions.
I spent 2 days up at Excell this week riding and testing. We did an idle test with both my sled and Aaron's sled. Aaron's sidewinder is stock as far as cooling goes. We rode both sleds around to get them up to operating temp. When we brought them to a stop and left them idle they were both at 170 degrees. Activated the fan on my sled and just left them sit and idle. It took 8.5 minutes for Aaron's sled to hit 212 and temp light to come on. At 8.5 minutes my sled was at 203. My sled idled for 3 additional minutes until it hit the 212. This was all at an ambient temp of 30 degrees F.
