That is what I thought might be the case.

I am planning to go to S&F and being there for the weekend of the 5th. I
would be very interested in getting one of these baffles, so if it is
possible, I would be able to buy one there. I would like to see how it is
mounted. I would hope to be able to avoid involving anyone else in the
installation. Where I live, it is not easy to get people out here.
Are you going to create a separate opening for the air inlet into this
cooling baffle? I would think you could do away with the two holes in the
front in that case. I know the diamond extreme has only one opening in the
front and it is for the scat tube that goes to this baffle. The routing of
the scat tube is a little challenging, because of the exhaust and the oil
pressure sender.
Maybe I'll see you at S&F?
