You folks were awfully helpful with my oil pressure woes. Perhaps I can glean some additional insight.
While I had the bike apart, I started going over the mechanical butchery of the PO. The mechanical fan looks dangerous- several deep radial cracks and it looks like it has no retaining bolt. Time for replacement or upgrade. I've been reading the conversion threads but there's some specifics in links that no longer work.
I want to do this without cutting the camshaft which is supposedly possible but I can't find enough info on what fans will fit. So far, my plan is to use https://www.ebay.com/p/Temperature-...1dxfhf-hmWfvMwXav4CsqBQoK_WYrxEaAiqsEALw_wcB](this switch) glued to the radiator near the inlet, mounted with one of those through-radiator systems. Wiring is planned to be tapped just before the accessory fusebox with its own inline fuse.
For the fan itself I've seen a fan from a Ducati or Triumph Daytona mentioned frequently. Will either of these fit without truncating the camshaft? Is my wiring plan up to par?
Picture of current fan provided so you can share my cringe.
