   Sorry about your fender!   

[grc]

I have one fan that does help. Two should be even bettter. By the way where did you put the horn? I am looking to move mine.

If you prefer the "stealth" approach, you could mount the stock type horns in the fairing.  Harley used to actually sell a kit that added a second stock style horn that was mounted in the fairing, and I'm assuming you could still do that even though you'd have to make your own little electrical harness.  I haven't seen the kit offered in the catalog for several years now, but it basically consisted of a low note horn, mounting bracket, and a wire harness.  When used in combination with the standard high note horn, it actually sounded pretty good.

Next time I have the front fairing off, I will do just that.  Need more/louder sound.  Might go with one of those aftermarket Italian horns that put a deafening blast.

So, Wachuko... what's the verdict?  Does this fan set-up actually work?

Looking at the other options (Love Jugs and Big Sky Fans), the reviews haven't been too positive.

Give us your impressions, please.  I'm trying to figure out what to do in the summers here in SoCal.

Dan,

Works great so far.  Since I don't have the horn in place I need to add a bigger spacer to avoid the fan hitting the jugs due to engine vibration.  Can't hear the fans when the engine is on, when the engine is off they sound like two small turbines.  Very little amp draw.

Should have temp figures when I take a longer ride this weekend.

But from the options out there, I would have to say that this is the better one, imho of course.

Hope that helps.

Damn, that was a good read..... Sending in deposit tomorrow, looks like a well thought out bit of kit!! I have a Fluke infrared thermometer at my shop and will give a impartial review. The horn relocation and garage door opener where already on the list

I read the whole thread on hdforums about this system then quickly sent in my deposit. Unfortunately Jason is waiting for a shipment of fans that won't be in until oct. I have read a few negative reviews but there are definitely a ton of positive ones. His customer service seems to be awesome as well. Cantw wait til I have mine.

Two more from today    I need to get the new saddlebag lids with the speakers cut out painted or I am just going to install the spoilers in the stock lids...






That is what those are for, right  . Installed the damper from the horn and the vibration from the engine is not affecting the fans.

I will take down the video and upload one tomorrow with the damper in place.

In the mean time, here is a photo with the rubber damper in place:



I can't hear the fans when riding, only when I shut down the engine can you hear the turbine-like sound.

Love the looks, thank you again Jason for giving us an option that is so frigging gorgeous while being functional.

Those are the best looking fans out there in my opinion, but I read on the other site that while the oil temp came down in traffic noticeably, the rider comfort was awful, the fans blowing thru the heads actually made the rider even hotter. I figure I own the bikes for 3 - 4 years and have extended warranty for 5 so let the engine be hot, My right leg is already hot enough, I just do not want to be any hotter than I already am.

I wanted to keep this thread alive and maybe spark some new interest. Hope I am not highjacking. I got a set of these fans as well with the granite finish and stainless covers. Jason was a great guy to deal with and shipping was super quick.

[wachuko]

Very nice!!!

I have been following the thread about the Wards parts Werks cooling fans on HDForum for forum for a few months, and just got these.

I just posed this in my mods thread... http://www.cvoharley.com/smf/index.php?topic=66236.msg1051206#msg1051206
