nope, but some have taken a fan from the Z400 and welded a frame for it to mount right in front of the oil cooler,,,,some have added an oil cooler, some just put the scoops on.

I ride slow a lot,,,,,about 2-4th gear just putting around on the trails and have not had an issue with overheating.

get a fan off ebay, make sure it is off of some kind of atv or dirt bike(designed to be muddy) and fab a bracket and put it on. I just did this as a second "pusher" fan on my king quad. It does not matter if you have a water cooled motor or not. ANY extra air across the fins is better than none. Also, somethingthat helps the air/fuel mixture is to cover (wrap entirely) the air box in heat reflective tape and make sure the intake is directed toward cool air. Hope this helps, it works on any quad/bike-EZ
