How does the Mighty-Might compare with full size Love Jugs?
Performance wise, of course.

I'm interested in hearing about this as well. I use Wards FCS fans.

Z, we know you've had a challenging time recently with your bike, however you are blundering around like someone looking for the light switch in a dark room! You can only improve your confidence in your bike by riding it and rolling up the miles. It's the weekend, time for a long day in the saddle!

Ive thought about fans, but my engine builder seemed less than impressed with them. He said that a good oil cooler is more important. I'm running a 124 and I just added an ultracool 2.0 cooler. The fans kick on at 210 degree oil temp. With 35 miles of 80mph highway riding last night at 70 degree ambient.......fans didn't activate.

as a 38 year refrigeration tech, the first law of thermodynamics is that air flow across a warmer/cooler surface will cause heat transfer. any more air movement that can be provided around the hottest surfaces would for sure be helpful.

Original love juggs blow air across the top of the cylinder, mighty mites blow air through the passageway in the cylinder head.
I subscribe to Eric Wards theory about cooling the cylinder head. (you can read it here https://www.hdforums.com/forum/touri...tem-again.html) At the time I was ready to purchase he was not taking orders, so I ended up buying a set of mighty mites. My experience was the cylinder head temperature dropped 60-80 degrees as monitored with a Power Vision.This data comes from the stock temp sensor mounted on the front cylinder head, which has it's limitations for accuracy. This stuff can be argued all day long but my conclusion is any help with cooling is a step in the right direction. Keep in mind that NONE of this stuff is an absolute guarantee that you won't have problems |

The lead engineer at Love Jugs said that for my bike, he'd definitely not go with the Mighty Mite because it doesn't have a frame-mount option and suggested it wouldn't hold up as well as their full size product. For that reason, if I decide to go with either, I'll not use the Mighty Mite. I'm not going to pull the trigger on this purchase until I know what's behind my high rear cylinder temps: It may wind up being unnecessary.
From reading all of your other threads, I don't think fans will help your situation You asked in this thread's first post about the differences in the two, I shared my knowledge and personal experience and by no means suggesting that any of these will help your problem |

You have already stated that in another post and I read it

Heat is a symptom of my problem this time around, not the cause. If I choose to add fans, it will be because traffic in my part of California is getting worse and worse, meaning more and more time caught i traffic, meaning more and more heat being trapped in my engine. |
