Love Jugs
I got a pair of Love Jugs installed on my 2016 Street Glide. Now I a will get a temperature gauge. I have heard that you can leave them on all the time. But I got them just in case I get stuck in traffic. So far they seem to be working pretty good. I also had new pipes put on and that changed the location of the cat from the jugs to the slip on part of the muffler. You can feel the change in temperature from the jugs and now the temp is hot where the cats new location is.

Do your Love Jugs have a thermostat switch on them? I don't have Love Jugs, but I do have the Wards fans, which have both an on/off switch and a thermostat switch too. He recommends leaving them on all the time, especially after the bike is shut down, to prevent heat soaking the fan motors. It will increase the service life if the fans. Just food for thought. If it were me I would have gone catless with new pipes, but to each his own.

If they have a thermostat that is all you need. My Buell has a factory cooling fan which occasionally comes on in traffic and most times for a short while after I switch off. That's the perfect set-up IMHO, no need to do any more!

The exhaust I got are these: http://www.harley-davidson.com/store...cannons-chrome
The bike (2016 street glide) came with the cat in the exhaust in the upper pipes. These screaming eagles move the cat to the back part or the slip on part. The heat was felt at the heads or jugs where the cat used to be and now you can feel the difference with the heat emanating from the lower pipes.
The Love Jugs (fans) that I got were not the thermostat type. They have little buttons that you turn on manually. I have heard you can leave them on all the time and supposedly engineered to run for 160,000 hours. NOW I have heard you need to have the heads to be at least 185 degrees to burn everything correctly. When you turn them on, they sound like little jet engines but you can not hear them when the motor starts.
