Install Fan Switch on Non-Testa 4v bikes

cheap and easy

Turn it on and the fan stays running. Don't turn it on and it will come on when the bike gets hot.

Is there any validity to installing a set of fans on toggle to an S2R1000 in order to increase (force) air flow across the motor to assist in cooling?

Would this forced air scenario evenly cool the cylinders?

Would the additon of fans assit in engine cooling or would it be a waste of time and resources?

If nothing else, I should be able to add at least 10-20HP with this mod...lol
