Derale 4" High-Output Extreme Paddle Blade Electric Fan - 125 CFM Item # D16104 could work but it is a puller application meaning it is meant to be installed behind a cooler core and pull air through it. You might not have the space for a puller fan on a motorcycle.

The smallest fan we have that can be used as a pusher is # FLX106 which is 6-1/2 inches in diameter.
