Default Parade fan?

just got a 06 Ultra Classic but its in storage until at least Feb. It is a shiner bike with a parade fan, how much does the fan help with cooling the bike? I guess I wont to know is it worth keeping it on the bike or getting a cool looking normal horn.

Ya , if it's all ready on the bike might as well use it. First time you ever need it you will be glad you have it. As well they are not cheap. Enjoy it.

Thread not as advertised.

I thought we were going to discuss our favorite parades. I would have to say, as a kid, definitely 4th of July. Couldn't beat collecting candy and them going to see fireworks.

I never even considered a parade fan until I got caught in the Run For The Wall backups, up in DC. After that, I don't care if I never turned the fan on till that very day. I would NEVER remove it. Better safe than sorry.
