According to the website, the larger holes on the front funnel the air into the radiator and the smaller holes (channels) funnel the warm air from the radiator back to the rider.
AFAIK, the vents in the side of the leg shield are where the hot air EXITS from the radiators. Ducting air INTO them there would seem to be counterproductive. What The? emoticon

Think I'll try a set after I do my radiator flush on the next maintenance I do on my Primavera 150.

Yep. Here it is. This is the dumbest thing you can put on a Vespa. I made it myself. I have a better picture (with it actually mounted) somewhere, but cannot find it at the moment.

Good to see I'm not the only person who was inspired by Craig Vetter to stick something like this on a Vespa. I tried to make something for the front, gave up and never got to the back.

That needs to be tested on a freeway at 75 mph. Not by me, but I definitely want to be there with a camera.
