Does anyone have one of these installed on their bike. Just want to know the pros and cons. I do a lot of riding in the summer and sometimes get stuck in traffic jams. Don't want the bike to overheat.

I tried it but it put out too much heat on my right leg. I went to the lenale fan


Smaller very efficient and does not cook my leg. I am a pgr member and it does exactly what I expected it to do.

just my thoughts

I have the parade fan on my Ultra, but it hasn't been hot enough for the fan to go on. I also check the lenale fan, but heard too many negative posts about it.

I have one on 02 EGC,worked great but the brackets kept breaking.Bought the improved one,no problem now.I have it directly connected to a switch so I can flip it on when stuck in traffic,don't want to wait till it get that hot that the thermostat kicks it on.Might get one on my Road King this year.

only time mine comes on is when in slow traffic for a while....the lenale folks say the parade fan blows too much hot air ( duhhh , that what they are designed to do)this usually means there is less heat on the engine....jmo

Excuse my ignorance (something I excel at) but can someone explain just how either of these fans work and where they mount?
