Great - had them for about 3 years. No problems at all.

Best looking fans I have seen.  They move a lot of air and I am always getting complements on them.

Had mine almost 2 years now. They work great. I would buy them again if I had another bike.

3rd riding season on mine and have installed 2 more on friend's bikes.  No issues with any of them.  Works great.

I had them on my 09, work great, hook up the thermostat and forget about them. Ward himself, is a great guy who really stands behind his product. He changed types of thermostats once very shortly after I got mine and just sent me the new style. Great guy to deal with.

Have had mine for 6 months on a 15 wet head, my factory fans rarely run anymore. Love them granite fans and granite screens look great.

I've been using the Wards fans for several years and they have performed flawlessly. Another of his products that I installed is his thermostat for the stock oil cooler that lowers the temperature the bypass let's oil flow through the cooler. Both of these items were well worth the cost and effort to install on my 11.5  CUSE6

Had mine for close to three years and run em in the nice warm temps of Phoenix, huge difference! I try not to ride too much when you can cook your steak on the street but sometimes it just is going to happen. Without hesitation I recommend them and as stated he is a great guy.

Any issues with the hot air from the heads blowing on your right leg?

I feel it, but it's not intolerable. I feel the hot air moving across the engine, but it's NOT as if someone is pointing a paint stripping heat gun on the inside of the right leg.

The Wards fans, unlike the single fans others like H-D sell, blow directly at each head near the plug area, and not straight through between the two heads.  There should be much less of that "blowing on your right leg" affect.  Only those who have used both can really say for sure how much difference there is in the real world.

been running them a couple of years now with the thermal switch. No problems except one I created with wire management. Tried to tuck everything out of site, but put one of the connector in a bind and the wire pulled out over time. recrimped a connector on, moved the wires and good to go. also running his 160 degree thermostat in the oil cooler. (that was a pain to install) but piece of mind for me.
