Default New cooling fans

Picked up my new Wards Parts FCS fans yesterday. I gotta say the pictures don't do them justice. They are well made, solid metal (no plastic) and when Jason plugged them in for a test I thought they were going to take off. Man. they move a lot of air. Good job Jason.

Jason's fans have been on my To Do list for probably too long now. Definitely doing it this winter.

Well.....you could spend $45 less and get 1 little fan that doesn't work as well. Or you could spend $175 more and get a big ugly chrome "official" Harley unit. I don't know how well it works but even if it added 30 HP to my bike I wouldn't hang that school bell off the side of my bike.

The Wards product is unobtrusive, but puts the air right where you need it. The fans may be small, but they are effective. And you get two of them. Two is better than one.

It's more than just little fans, it's billet mounts with either powder coat or chrome, wires and switch.

Thanks for the reminder, been thinking about one of these. Not sure if I'm gonna be able to make it work with my Mini Beast Horn though.

Just sent Jason a pic to see what he thinks.

Do they solid mount to the motor or just hang on the horn bracket?
Vibration?
They look pretty good, let us know how they really work.

In the beginning.....there was a thread -

Hangs on the horn bracket while retaining stock horn. Smart.

Those two little fans have been doing me right for over a year now..both in town and highway. Well worth the cost !
