I have use the Laneal fan for many years with no failure, it did what it was suppose to do for 5 years until I traded.
Wish I had thought to remove it.
Is it the best, I have no idea, there is no way one can say what is best because of variances.
If it does the job then it is doing what it is suppose to do.
I will say I do not like a lot of wind force against the cylinders.
Better cooling probably, but on the other side of the coin is heat hitting your leg. I will not use the HD parade fan because of that very reason.
The Lanale fan was just about right.
When your stuck in the saddle for hours on end you can catch a lot of heat on your leg. Yes the engine will stay cooler up to a point.
Remember we are removing heat not cooling. There is a big difference.
In order for a fan to work properly it needs to come on before the heat builds too far. All you are doing is removing heat.
Yes I am quantified to say this. Certified Horticulturist. It is the same principle as plants. You can not cool a plant only help to remove the heat. A plant that is sweating, water dripping out of the tip of the leaves is how it removes the heat.
This is what we are doing when we use a fan. In a certain way you are cooling but what we are doing is removing the heat because the heat is being cause of the engine running.
The only true way of cooling a engine is to cut it off therefore no heat is being built so it cools.
Hope this makes sense to some of you at least.
