I am comparing my 2005 XB12R with Ferris' 2008 XB12R on the same trip together so the speeds and conditions are pretty much the same. The trip was 160+ miles. My bike has the scoop. On the occasions we stopped, either at a traffic light, stop sign, for food, for fuel.... OK ... you get the idea ... My fan did not run or ran for a noticeable amount of time shorter than his. This happened on every occasion. I notice no negative effects so far. Installation took about 10 minutes. Looks cool and work!!!!

What was the price?
That was my only problem when it came to the price for a single scoop.
I have the low profile scoops from Trojan Horse, and also noticed a cooler bike, but I payed $160 for 2 scoops. I did have to paint them but that was nothing major. I guess it comes to preference in the end.

Well BadDad. You have to understand that the 08s have a different ECM with much longer fan runtime. Your fan will run for 3 minutes, and his will run for 10. The right side scoops are cool though and I do want one. One of the best things about them is they will protect the frame in a lowside.
