One of the best/worthwhile additions to my bike I've ever made. Stage 1, 96 ci no oil cooler,
And my ET monitored by my Power Vision averages just under 235*,up to but never over 250*
in summertime gridlock traffic. Oil temps get up to 270/280, measured by HD digital dip stick.
(Hard to say how accurate that is but with synthetic 20/50 its safe)

 

I don't want to bother Jason with a silly question, does anyone know what the HD Forum discount is? Looks like a black/ black setup will be $290 msrp. Thanks

 

No bother, I just don't like to publish it because I already have enough problems with folks giving me bogus forum names. Anyway its not a percentage its a fixed value, $25.

 

An oil cooler only cools oil, it barely impacts ET, But the fans cool the heads which also lowers oil temp as much or more than the average oil cooler. Much easier install and cheaper than an oil cooler. That said, I still run an oil cooler, they both have their utility.

 

I doubt it, the ECM transitions out of warm up, high idle/enrichment mode at about 178F, so unless it could cool lower than that I don't think there would be a problem. Sadly, vehicle and oil manufacturers are very noncommittal regarding operating temps the closest you'll get is usually a wide range.

 

Fairly common question. The thermal switch controls the fans, the thermostat controls oil flow, both are thermo-mechanical devices but the switch is an electrical device and the stat is a hydraulic valve.

 

Thanks Jason! I will get the order placed today. I think for my application I want the B+ connector option.

Also need to look at the invoice for my Jagg 10 row. It's been a few years but I think I was encouraged to go no thermostat. If it indeed has one I will be purchasing your thermostat as well.

 

I have a set sitting here I pulled off my '12 before I traded it in. Been debating whether to sell them or install them. The '14 runs so much cooler (felt heat) than the '12 did, so not sure they are needed, but I haven't done anything to monitor actual temperatures yet. Any feedback on this would be appreciated from someone that has.

I can tell anyone that is considering them for the air cooled motors, these fans work extremely well.

 

Got mine a couple of years ago.My '06 RK is carbed so the toggle switch really interferes with the enrichener **** unless you bend it's bracket-which I did but still eventually broke the toggle switch on the fan (Jason you might remember me sending this back to you thinking faulty).So I removed the toggle,packed the cavity with hi-temp. RTV and am going to run it off the acc.switch now that weather is warming up.These fans are really great and I would (and have) suggest them to all.

 

I recently got mine on. Still waiting to really test them in Texas heat.
