I had much fun and games getting it shaped to allow

A very nicely illustrated job by Tim and made feasible by the removal of the lower panels. On our trip to Yorkshire, your oil temp was lower than mine except for when we rode through Bradford in the rain: at that point, my oil cooler was also being water cooled!
A very informative write up there Tim. It will be very useful when I get round to de-fairing my Trophy, thank you. Was the shroud purely to protect the sensor or would you recommend fitting one anyway? I thought with the weather cooling now my rad fan would cut in a little less but it still hums away at the slightest hint of traffic so keen to get the fairing off to see if it helps. May fit the later larger rad too.
The shroud was there to protect the sensor and soft alloy pipework from the cack that gets kicked up from the front wheel. The 180 degree bend is really exposed so I thought it best.
