Default WardsPartWerks FCS cooling fan install with Howards Hog Horns

This weekend I installed a Wards Parts Werks FCS cooling fans on the ol RK. It is combined mounting with a Howards hog horn so I took a few pictures for anyone considering the same install. Quality of the fans is excellent BTW.

pic 2 remove compressor

pic 3 modify horn mounting bracket by extending notch 1/2 inch deeper

pic 4 remount bracket in new notch

pic 5 mount fan assembly and level

Peekayphx, great job on the combined install with Howards horns, many folks are interested in a similar set up.
Lusian, I have a mount solution for the MB horns, the football cover style will visually shroud the fans a bit, but it doesn't have a negative impact on cooling performance.

Just installed mine a couple of days ago. Went on a 755 mile ride through SE Ohio. Rode the OH-555 (Triple Nickel) and my oil temps never exceeded 235*. Works fantastic and great workmanship. My concern here is is there too much weight hanging from the one vibration isolator mount bolt and did you maintain a minimum 1/4" clearance from the cylinders as specified in the installation instructions?
