Abstract
A heat exchange device for mounting between the front fork and the engine of a motorcycle comprises two vertical coolant outflow tanks on either side of a core area, and a coolant inflow tank located midway between the outflow tanks and connected to the latter. The lower part of the device comprises a series of bent tubes having cooling fins therebetween, to form an inverted U-shaped space which straddles the top of the engine, so as to provide sufficient clearance to accommodate the expansion and contraction strokes of the front fork.
