Chrome cooling fins for 500, 550 and 650's
« on: April 28, 2006, 03:54:28 PM »
Hi everyone,

Just browsing ebay, came across this: item #4635615916, URL is http://cgi.ebay.ca/Honda-CB650-Nighthawk-CB550-CB500K-Chrome-Fins-NEW_W0QQitemZ4635615916QQcategoryZ35580QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem

Seem to be aftermarket chrome cooling fins you can attach.  Just curious, where do these mount?  Do they help with cooling?  Or impede cooling?  Do they look cool?  Does anyone have a picture of something like this on a bike?

Not going to get these, but interested nonetheless,

Rob

they look as tho made out of the grate from an open fire. They mount anywhere but on my bike. Do they work, well probably not.
