If I have the right site it looks like he is taking deposits now, I am looking at his website right now. http://wardspartswerks.com/cooling-fans.html is that the right one?

This may end up being one of the most absurd posts on the forum so I have to share......
Over the summer my friend was having bad overheating issues with his 120R. He decided he was going to mount some kind of fan to his oil cooler to try to help keep the temps down. He came up with two computer fans wired into the running lights so they turn on every time the ignition is on. These are two pics of the very rough mock up we did as proof of theory. According to him he didn't have any overheating issues afterwards.
How's that for some redneck engineering.

While it'll help, it's probably not going to keep the bike from overheating in summer heat stop and go for any period of time.

Yeah we've had the computer fans @ work on some of our machines take a crap from just dust or it being too humid. So I could only imagine how long those would last unprotected on an air cooled motor in summer heat or rain storm

Those computer fans can be pretty good, I used them on one of my saltwater aquarium's hood system a while back when I used metal halide lights for coral growth.

I must be on same internet as you. I see no deposit available. If you click the Deposit link, it clearly says nothing is available since Aug 25, 2016.

I have Love Jugs on my 2010 103 Limited, have had em on for about 3 years now.
They do cool your heads 100 degrees. They run underwater. (Rains like a MF here in Florida) They plug right into your stock aux plug under your seat, makes for a easy installation, they work off your aux switch. You don't hear them when your motors running. Have had No problems with them.
