    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

CPU fan cooling R/R

Thanks to Cajun Cycler and others for this idea. I replaced my Stator and R/R because they were both original and at 34,000 miles I figured I was riding on borrowed time. In the interest of keeping the R/R cooler (and hopefully lasting longer) I mounted a small 12 volt CPU fan on the R/R and wired it to a switched power lead. Here's a pic of the R/R with the CPU fan mounted:

Hey, NICE idea!! I have a few lying around (and the fairing doesn't do me any favors in this case). I'll have to do the same!

Regards,
 
My Stepfather says: "Never trust a man that doesn't have junk". I knew I'd find a use for those power supply fans from my old computers. Hmmmm maybe the cases could be used for tools...

Is the fan blowing or sucking?

It is blowing. The fins are deep enough to allow the air to flow down and out across them. You can feel the air flow coming out at the ends of the fins.
