Ducting heated air from radiator to warm legs

Post by ujim » Sun Jan 22, 2012 11:51 am

Didnt see this posted on this board.
Has anyone tried ducting the air exhaust from the engine cooling vents on the side of the front fairing to create leg warming air?

I've seen it offered as a feature on some euro 300cc class scoots.
Seems like a natural accessory for the 150sh.

If you buy a tucano urbano legcover (thermoscud) this will happen by itself, the warm air from the duct will get under the leg cover 8-)

Failure is not an option, it comes bundled with the package.

The Turcano Urbano woks very well. Been riding all winter here in Michigan and the warmest part of my body is always my legs. I have a thermometer on my key chain and it always registers 15-20 degrees warmer under the "scud". I wouldn't have done 92 miles in 23 degree weather last week of Pleasure cruising without it and the Oxford heated grips, the Honda windshield, the Honda knuckle visors and good tight leather......Loving the bike and the weather more so all the time.

I bought "air vents" from Fiat Panda, but did not start project yet. I have to make holes in plastics, then heated air will heat under legs cover
