EDIT: although early measurements and testing suggested that 60mm was enough, probably should have used 50mm

Two 60x60x25mm computer fans. These are medium speed (3000rpm) but have some high speed (5000rpm) on order.

Fused, currently no switch. Wired to taillight circuit.

The bracket is made from an old computer case. It is stiff due to those "wings" being bent at an angle.

No, the pet carrier does not block them.

Flow direction is towards rear.
Adequate clearance above mudguard to allow full shock compression

Why? Is this to protect the ECU from overheating?

I missed this when you first posted it. And yes, I think this is probably a first.

Can you tell us more about what you're trying to achieve?
