Screens for Upper Cowling

[DK]

Does any know if there are screens available for the air intake to radiator on upper cowling? I was just curious if it was possible or would it restrict to much air flow to the radiator. Please see picture below to reference the location.

Thanks,
DK

I've never had a problem there. Only places I have snow screen is in the vent ( aftermarket) on the clutch side.

"pet screen" from a local hardware store.

cut to size and duct tape it in. Works great - keeps the snow out and cheap solution.

Never had to re-tape mine in two seasons.

I got a few Frogzskins and covered a few vents, the one by the oil tank is a must, fills with snow so fast. They make all different sizes so i just ordered one that was close. Not the cheapest solution, but they work great and look good.

I just ordered some Frogskins from Mo-Flow. Just ordered a 12x12 and 18x18 sheet.

Vents

Buy pet screen and use construction adhesive on the inside. It works awesome and you have enough screen for years.

Only do this if your a little handy.

Cool, thanks everyone for the input. I think I am going to Home Depot to get some pet screen.

I have tried the pet screen both with spray adhesive and gorilla tape. Somehow I manage to rip it apart once in a while. (I roll the sled, a lot)

I am wondering about using a aluminum grille with the pet screen over..

Will post up some pics when i get to it..

That being said, gorilla tape should work good if you dont roll the sled every ride..

I'm going to try this alo.Last year when riding huge amount of fresh powder(5-6ft) I would get about a 20lb build up of ice under the oil tank.
I took out the top screens and got the mod rod vents to replace them they sell them without having to buy a whole sled vent kit.
