I have been approached about the idea of a manual fan control that would allow you to:
Turn the fan on early
turn the fan off (to reduce power draw)
allow normal mode
Another feature requested would be indicator lights that would show:
What status is selected
If the fan is turned off but the bike wants it on (blinking LED etc)...could even be audible alarm
What I am trying to determine is if there is interest in this on a wider scale. I have never felt the need to change how my fan operates but i spend little time in heavy traffic and I don't do track days or other cases that are different. My bike rarely runs hot although I have considered a manual "on" switch for the summer in the past.
Another outstanding question is....self powered or bike powered. I could personally go either way...the default operaton (even with the unit off) would be for the fan to operate as normal....so no harm if the battery dies on a self powered unit.
Feedback?
