A while back someone had posted (in fact more than 1 I think) information on an ebay seller that was selling those fan shrouds for helping to keep the engine cool. I cannot find that post anywhere.... Anyone remember where it is? Also, has anyone seen a luggage rack for the Milano? A local dealer has them here, but only on scoots for sale, and he won't sell me one, and was not welcome to the idea of ordering one for me. Steve at GS doesn't have them either. I can get the trunk, but not the rack from GS.

I believe Leo (oldchopperguy) was the one that found those air scoops on ebay, I'll look. I think you get more style than additional cooling off these.

Thanks Rebel for the links. I found the chrome ones when looking earlier on ebay. As for the trunk I am kind of hoping that someone else with a Milano, or another like it might have seen a rack when browsing for parts somewhere. I have been watching ebay for quite some time for one. I should go back over to my local scooter place and take a picture of the one he has. I offerred to buy it right off the scoot he had, the thing was collecting dust off in a corner. But no go, so I search on. Thanks for your help.

Carlos at autotech on ebay may be the one that they got their scoops at, if you wanted to buy from the same place. I did not see one listed from him when I looked.

yep the air scoops are more for looks then function the guys that have the ones that realy pull the air in have built there own out of plumbing parts and they dont always look the greatest but if you are heavily moded you need function over beauty

I'm wondering if an improved fan is the best idea. The amount of air flow from that size of opening probably does not improve greatly even with one of those big PVC pipe angles sticking out there.
Back in the dark ages when they put those huge scoops on cars hoods, it was rumored that aerodynamics works better creating a positive pressure if you turn them around so the opening was facing backwards towards the windshield. I dunno.

Thanks so much for the luggage rack links! The one site had them for under $40, a very nice price. I will get it checked out and go to GS to get the trunk to match. Thanks again guys...... I am off to spend more money! Maybe I can scooter today, its over 50 degrees!
