Replaced my cheap torque wrench with a much pricier one and haven't lost anything since, but loctite all around might not be such a bad idea! Hell, I've had the two pinch bolts for the front axle vibrate out! Also lost an airbox screw and a couple of trim screws. "I installed mine without it and one of the screws vibrated out." I installed mine without it and one of the screws vibrated out. One word of advice is to use loctite on the screws that hold the scoop on. It's not perfect but it's better than the stock setup without it.
I noticed the fan did not cycle as much and the bike seemed to run cooler overall after installing the kit. But once you start moving with any appreciable speed, I do believe it enhances airflow over the rear cylinder, which is surrounded by the frame and gets much hotter than the front. Overall it works well, although like others have said, it won't stop high heat situations in stop n go traffic in the summertime.
I installed the whole kit in the spring prior to riding a while without it. Like the others have said, get the complete kit. The second link and the ebay link are just the scoop portion of the comfort kit, as the under seat part will not fit on some of the other XB models.
#Right scoop plus
The comfort kit is the large two piece right side scoop plus a heat shield, under seat air channel, and related hardware. Regarding all 3 scoops listed, they are all the exact same part. Nothing is going to save you leg in 95° weather stuck in stop-and-go traffic, but it works well for normal riding conditions I don't know what the comfort kit costs these days, but I bought it for $100 or so and consider it a good buy. Since the engine itself doesn't seem to run any cooler with the scoop in place, I suspect it is mostly included as part of the comfort kit as a placebo or cosmetic component.
The shroud and heatshield that come with the comfort kit do make a noticeable difference. The scoop by itself does absolutely nothing to deflect heat. Im looking to add something to divert as much heat away from my leg as possible and wondering if anyone has experience between the following options -īasically looking for anyone who might have experience choosing between which provides the best heat deflection/cooling vs cost.Īmerican Sport Bike right side scoop is the least $ (but appears to be rather small?)ĮBay Scoop is the in middle $$ (appears to be larger?)Īlso does anyone know id the American Sport Bike scoop is the same that is in the Comfort kit (sans the rest of the stuff)?
