Default Heat Activated Snap Switch

For anyone running a cooling fan on their bike that would like it to turn on when the engine reaches temperature (205 degrees F) and turn off when it cools down (150 degrees F) I have snap switches that I will sell for $10 each. I know that Love Jugs is not providing these with their fans so if you want one this is your chance. I have about 100 of them and probably won't do this again unless the demand is high. My paypal is marq541@yahoo.com
Be sure to include a note with your shipping address when you pay.

Hey Stonecold, that's good thinking. Where on the motor do you mount those switches ?

Using some RTV you can install them close to the cylinder head between the fins. Got mine on the rear jug as that is the hottest one.

The specs are in my original post. Closes at 205 F and opens at 150 F. It is 1/4 x 1/2 x 1/8". If you purchase one I will email installation instructions to you.
