I have been following the thread about the
Wards Parts Werks (
http://wardspartswerks.com) cooling fans on HDForums for forum for a few months. A friend of mine has had them for a couple of months, and really likes them. The beauty of these is that the fans are right in front of the cylinder heads, and they blow a high volume of cool air right ON the hottest part of the engine - the heads. I think this approach is MUCH better than the big "parade fans" and other approaches I've seen.
I put in an order with a $50 deposit for a set about three weeks ago on the Wards Parts Werks site, fully expecting to wait until Oct/Nov. I ordered them in the CVO Granite with Granite screens so they be visually unobtrusive.
Well, Jason billed me early last week, I paid instantly, and the fans arrived yesterday.
I was DELIGHTED! I installed them in about an hour. I had to do a bit of creative engineering, because I have a custom MetalArts air horn (Wolo Big Boy inside) with a big chrome cover that I had to figure out how to shim out about 3/8" to make everything fit. But when all was said and done, the fans fit behind the
Ball o' Flames air horn perfectly!
We took a ride yesterday evening up to Lake Burton for dinner, about 3 hours total ride time, and I could not hear the fans at all with the engine running. I'm really glad I got them!
