Muzzy fan for Rocket?

Saw post in "resources" forum with link to Muzzy fans, but no product is listed for the R3 on their site--I phoned them and was told they do not have a fan specifically for the R3, so unless one of the other Triumph bikes they list use the same fan I was out of luck. Phoned dealer and asked them to cross reference part numbers, and they said the fans for bikes listed on Muzzy site were a different part number than for the R3... Any one know if Muzzy has a fan that will fit the Rocket?

Ratpick, it's been so long since I added that I can't remember where I got the info. Sorry.

I will search around and see if I can come up with anything.

Muzzy sales rep I spoke with claimed a 30-40% increase in flow over typical stock fan. In hot weather and stop and go traffic, my bike runs the fan what seems to me an excessive amount, so a more efficient fan seemed worth a try. In fact, at higher temps when the bike isn't moving, the coolant system does not seem capable of dropping temperature to a point where the fan will cycle off. In my experience, this is unusual with an electric fan... Anyway, a $40 accessory seemed worth a try.
