Other than his incredibly thin skin , skiddd is just posting an opinion and I applaud people who share their experience, it adds to a discussion......

But I just read a post from Sarge in the Touring section of this forum. Another apparently unsubstantiated rant about these fans. I suspect that Sarge is either grossly misinformed at best and/or intellectually challenged at worst..... Just my 2 cents....

I admit it's sharp looking, but I think more for a custom chopper. IMO it would look "out of place" on Harley's.

My question has any run any of the fans with a monitoring system like a Power Vision to see what they really do or is all this just guessing. I want proof from a end user not someone trying to sell there product. I all so would like to know how much noise they make as I like listing to my stereo.
Thanks
Jeff

jason's fans are a well-built product, move a lot of air in the right place, are not loud, look nice, and are plug and play with no horn relocation. just had mine put on a few months ago and we have had a mile/cold winter down here in south texas. went to daytona, and i realize it is not that hot this time of year. got caught in two traffic jams from accidents in orlando...stop and go for 45 minutes at a time. the fans worked as advertised and the heat management system did not cut off the rear cylinder. same thing on main street and heavy traffic in daytona. any number of tests have shown a significant drop in oil temperature using the fans--do a search on the forum and read all the posts.

The FCS fans are 100% waterproof, IP68, submersible. The fans do not interfere with access to spark plugs.

You won't likely find an end user with the ability to observe front and rear head temps, the PV only shows half the story with the OEM temp sensor in the front head. I recently posted some new test results in an easy to read time/temp graph, kinda like a dyno chart. http://www.wardspartswerks.com/new-p...ance-data.html . Its difficult to hear the fans over the bike when its running, they operate in about the 70db range.

Well, I have a Wards on my Deluxe. The Mrs. Will ride it all season in addition to weekly practice sessions with her MC. They are an all female precision stunt performance team. They will perform several shows/rally's and their whole routine is all slow speed utilizing the rear brake and friction zone. Should be a good real world test of Jason's fan!

Oh yeah, for what it's worth, all I've seen here is **** throwing and the kind of bullshit shady politicians use from the LeNale folks. With all I've seen with their attempts to smear Jason's product, you couldn't pay me to put one of their ****ing fans on my bikes!

Even thaw I ride a Ultra the reason I cam here is by a search. I am very interested in your findings. When I am packed up for a rode trip the bike, hack, gear and I you are looking at at least 1,600 pounds. I am working on getting the parts to build a low to mid torque monster motor. But she is still running well with only 98,000 on the clock.
Thanks
