Default Anyone ever used these cooling fans?

http://www.ebay.com/itm/Parade-Fan-f....c100290.m3507

I'm not looking to start a debate on cooling fans, just wondering if anyone has used this model or at least seen one in person. i like the fact they aren't as large as the others i have seen. i realize they may not flow as much as others, but i just can't get over the looks/size of the more popular fans.
thanks

I have not heard of these fans but have had success with Wards (no longer available) and Love Jugs. You might be able to live with the Mighty Mite by Love Jugs, in terms of size.

Never heard of them. But after my experience with the Lenale fans, which was terrible, they dont look pretty cheaply made compared to the Lenale.

JMO, but you should just wait and watch for a set of Wards fans to come up for sale and jump on them. You get what you pay for and won't be disappointed with Jasons'......

The specs look good, and I also like the fact that there's a third fan that blows between the cylinders. I don't think I've seen one like that before.

You'll have to relocate your horn, but that shouldn't be too difficult.

in case anyone finds this topic in a future fan search, i figured i'd update my experience. i'm confident they don't flow as much as love jugs or wards, but they are less conspicuous and my EITMS hasn't kicked in since i put them on. i use them when i run into traffic or am going really slow on a hot day, and they will hold the temperature or slowly decrease it. i'm happy with them, and would recommend them to someone that didn't want a big set of fans on their bike. i powdered coated mine black to match my low rider S.
