Agree. Your paying for the mount, housing,electrical bits,chrome,paint and getting scalped on the fans.$50.00 in materials and 300% markup. Gee, just like HD!

Yes they work. They work great. Lowered temps on my Fatboy up to 50 degrees in stop and go traffic and about 20 or so degrees in cruise mode. Stop and go traffic temps is where they really shine.

according to my mechanic the reason my 103 motor in my 2015 freewheeler was totally destroyed by heat was because the love jugs which blew air on the heat sensor fooled the sensor into believing it was cooler than it realy was. Also the love jugs blow air on only one side of the motor which does not allow even heat distribution. IMO love jugs were the main reason my motor was heat destroyed

I just posed this statement to several older HD mechanics in my loop. They said the fans probably had ZERO to do with that. They said tight crankshaft bearings were the likely cause, they have seen it multiple times on trikes. Heat sensor is between heads/cylinders. Heavy vehicle/lugging will affect the phenomena in conjunction with crank issue.
