You won't find Wards; Love Jugs pretty much put Jason out of business. Like I said in my previous, I don't know the back story, if there is one, but that's the way I see it. Take a look at the LaNale unit; no personal experience but if I needed fan assist, I would try it out.
Yes, actually considering Lenale. The one that looks best.
What attracted me to Jason's design is how it blows through the channel on the top of the cylinder head and if I remember the thread correctly it was what he found most effective
I can't remember the details of the situation but they pretty much took his design and screwed him out of producing his own product
Finally I made up my mind and ordered a LeNale fan to my bike from an Ebay-seller. (Among the solutions I would say: the best price and look!)
Hopefully, this arriving summer, being able to control the ET with the fan, I can ride around town without being afraid of being stuck in heavy traffic seeing ET on my PV rising to 290-300° F.
Also having an OT dipstick, I will have the opportunity to study the OT in relation to the ET. It will be interesting to see how the ET affects the OT, (when regulated by the fan), and I may return to the thread with a graph illustrating this.
Best Regards from Stockholm, Sweden, Europe

Follow up with a post on quality, fit and finish; installation instructions and before/after results. So take some readings before the install as a baseline. Good information for others the might be interested in fan assisted cooling.
I am going to need to do something.. My 127 does run hot. I have an oil cooler but may need to go to a fan assisted one. They are all hideously ugly in my opinion. I wish there were true tests or people who measured and compared…
I don’t mean to be cheap, but it crawls up my butt to spend big money on something so ugly. There are lots of $75 little radiators with a fan. I wish I knew someone who compared that rout to say a jagg. Before people start saying “be done with it” “never looked back” Quality” “You get what you pay for” it’s a freakin bunch of tubes that oil goes through so there is a lot of surface area to cool it. I don’t think Jagg has a magic wand. But then again.. I wish we had evidence it is worth all that money for something that ugly.
I Just installed one on my '09 with a 110 drop on, over heating those cylinders with the thin spigots & liners make me nervous. I only have a problem in extended stop & go situations, if I stay in that long enough it'll get over 320°, temp is good otherwise.
I also have a fan assisted Jagg 10 row that's been on this bike for years.
I changed up the horn relocation to where it was more out of sight and minimal bracket set up.
Never tried it out yet, hope it does the job,,, and last a long while.
