GL1200 fan shroud

#1

Post by PNWRider »

Couldn't find an 84 GL1200 Standard near by so I decided to build one. Purchased an 87 low mileage Interstate which I'm removing everything not necessary. What's the purpose of the shroud directly behind the fan? Will the bike run fine without it? Thanks

Like all fan shrouds, it helps direct air across the radiator. Depending on the air temperature, and speed the bike is moving, or not moving, it may or may not be needed.

Here on the East Coast with high temps and HEAVY Traffic it is a solid requirement to keep things at proper temp.

I think he is talking about the shroud in front of the carbs. That would be behind the fan. More to keep heat away from the carbs I believe.

But maybe I'm on the wrong track. anim-cheers1
