Member Contributer Dutchy Posted June 2, 2013 Member Contributer Share Posted June 2, 2013 Found an old cpu fan so let's see how long it lasts on my VFR. Switched with a 7.5 fuse on the Bluesea, giving of a noticable airflow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dallasb Posted June 2, 2013 Share Posted June 2, 2013 I did this on my '90, just after 1 burned up. I replaced it with another OE reg/rec, but this was before Honda updated it to the heatsink version. I never broke the one with the fan, for what it's worth...

Member Contributer YoshiHNS Posted June 2, 2013 Member Contributer Share Posted June 2, 2013 7.5A?? I think those were meant for 0.5A. But I like your creative mounting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Contributer rangemaster Posted June 2, 2013 Member Contributer Share Posted June 2, 2013 My computer fan has lasted 5 years of year round riding (so has the Suzuki R/R). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wera803 Posted June 3, 2013 Share Posted June 3, 2013 I've had one on my stock R/R for probably 7 or 8 years now with no problems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I like your creative mounting. 7.5 the lowest I could find in my box of bits and pieces...... The position is primarily driven by the -lack of- length of the tiny wires... I suppose best would be under the heatsink, helping the warm air rising... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member Contributer Dutchy Posted June 3, 2013 Author Member Contributer Share Posted June 3, 2013 Nah.... tried that... the fan itself is flush with the surrounding plastic so I'd need to put tiny spacers as well. I'm committed to a good job, but there are limits! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Contributer 2thdr Posted June 3, 2013 Member Contributer Share Posted June 3, 2013 How about reversing polarity of the wires? Nah, that wouldn't work since the blades are made to go one way... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
