Don't go nuts because the metal is crap and can crack causing you to have to replace the fan. Save $40 and go light. 1979 Honda Cx500 Custom    Report

One of the blades fans looked like it had been half eaten by a dog. It also cut my oil light wire. So now that's fixed. 1979 Honda Cx500 Custom    Report
