Cooling off after a ride
My Harley, like most, is air-cooled. That requires air to flow over the cooling fins. Pulling into the garage after a ride with oil temps in the 220-degree range, seems a good idea to aim a floor fan at the engine, so I do. Anyone else?

Just came in from an 87 mile ride in 84° temperatures; the Wide Glide went up on the J&S lift, tender plugged in, and 2 fans were pointed at the engine/primary/transmission. Did you ever actually feel the heat coming off the rockers? I always run fans for an hour or two cooling her off. Why do you think Ward's fans melt if you just shut off the bike without allowing the thermostatic switch to run shutting them off? Those heads are HOT... but of course, YMMV...
