Final fan configuration.

A word of warning, make sure those mounts are very firm, the fan is strong and will eat your radiator if it slips or they bend. I would try and use the third mounting if you can.

Tim- do you have the fan polarity wired as puller? Pretty sure that's the intended function when mounted behind.

[75RD350rider]

Yep puller

Thanks for the responses. It is quite firm and took considerable force to bend the brackets into position for placement. I can drill a small safety wire hole where the 3rd brace was mounted and safety it pulling back for added safety but I don't think it will move.

no worries, I just worry about something that has this much power spinning rapidly behind the thin ally rad, I mounted mine quite close to the rad (ala R6) so had to be sure it was solid in my application. I figured with the awful pot holed roads we have here in Aus that hitting a bump could spell disaster if i wasnt careful etc.

Anyway, they are great fan with lots of power and designed for a bike so you know the environment it lives in wont kill it like it could other products.
