I hear what you're saying, but we still look cooler on a broken down lambretta than a runing vespa.

Hi Steve, just a thought or I may be totally stupid. I see the AF has 16 fins and a standard Indian has 24, but are the 16 fins moving a bigger pocket of air? Or did AF in their quest for lightness just get it wrong? I have one of the AF light ones knocking around and was going to try it. Do you have any comments to make on them as to there usefulness ? Cheers.

AF is the lowest in tests ive done and i avoid at all costs im working to impove cooling not reduce .
So, a liquid cooled Lambretta is the only way to keep temperatures down then.....

YES like your car the thermostat controls the temp by adjusting water flow . air cooled is no control just pray 🙏

@@TheSteelweasel dont the longer fins sap a bit of horsepower,also the bigger vespa diameter would cause more drag,like a lever effect,but yeah,lambretta cooling always borderline and sure some of these companies could come up with a better system,,but do they want us to have vespa reliability,regards kit sales,they would plummit
