This happened to me two years ago. I was able to center the fan on the hub and epoxy it. The repair is still holding today. Mark B2 A2

Fred Hink at Arrowhead Motorsports has a replacement fan blade made from aluminum for $56.66. Check it out under engine parts for the KLR here: http://www.angelfire.com/ut/fred/parts.html Jeff

I would hit either a motorcycle or perhaps even an automotive junkyard. Once you find a fan about the right size, you can rig bracketry with wire ties, coathanger wire or whatever suits you. All its gotta' do is fit in the right place, draw 12 volts DC and move air. The rest you can fake. -Tom '96 KLR 650
