Wards Cooling Fans for my Fat Bob
#13
Pretty easy, just spent most of the time trying to hide the wiring as best as I could.
The Thermostat has started to act up a bit, keeps the fans on long after shutdown. I have emailed Jason, and he is already sending me a new and different thermostat. Jason has a great rep for backing his product and this is just another verification of that.
I will update this thread when I install the new thermostat.

Don't seem to hear a lot about these fans here in the Dyna area although the baggers use them a bunch. I live in the North Texas area and the summer heat is really tough to deal with and the biggest problem is when you are stopped or just going slow, traffic light to traffic light. So I decided on the Wards Fans because they help when it really counts - when there is little to no airflow, plus I have the True Track stabilizers installed which hinders a lot of the oil coolers. Here is what came in the mail in about 4 days after ordering:
The last 45 minutes of my commute (into/out of the new york city) are a stop and go tap dance that is really brutal on the motor, so I think having this and maybe an oil cooler could save me from some heat induced problem.

My Lenale cooling fan just crapped out after about 6 months. Its the second one in two years. I just dont think any fan will survive my riding conditions. Very hot, very wet, bad roads, and the dyna vibratation makes them toast.
My first oil cooler fan (Jagg) failed as well, but Jagg did agree to replace and the second one is still functioning.
I would like to consider the Wards, but the fans on the end of the stalks just looks like they would pogo around and eventually snap off. They should send me one and could test it in the ultimate stress test of the Philippines!
