Shrouds would help a lot too if you ride with some speed. Then the fan doesn't need to be on at all times.

Do you have any ideas on how I could shroud the engine?

Most people cut aluminum or sheet metal and form it into scoops that stick out past the seat and push air toward the motor. I'll put a link up.

The rad I got is a 11" subaru piece, which will be installed with at least 1 scoop. This should be ok, I have been driving this buggy for several years and I have noticed the engine is a little hot at time when I stop.

Oh, it's liquid cooled? I figured it was air since it was small, or is it a 2 stroke? A fan on that size of a radiator should be plenty.
