What inspection? I live in Ga!!!
The Lenale moves a LOT of hot air away from the "v" area. That was my goal. It hits both the front and rear fins really well. I highly recommend it so far.
As far as the small dual fans pointing at the temp sensors, I'm 100% convinced that the Love Jugs and Wards may actually do damage by tricking the temp sensors and therefore the ecm into thinking that the bike is cooler than it actually is.
The goal is to remove heat. Not cool sensors.

The Wards fans blow into the center of the heads (where there are no sensor(s))
Either way, the sensor tip is actually inside the head several inches and some air blowing on the back of the sensor isn't going to affect it's precision or reading.

I ended up pulling the tank for the first time to do this. It made the installation so much easier. There was an accessory plug in front of my seat and it plugged right up to the LeNale. I didn't have to splice or relocate an wires. It works with the flip of the ACC switch. Not gonna lie. I learned a LOT from the install.

To hook up the fan on my 14 Road King is super simple. The Rushmore Road King plug is right under the side panel where the horn is. In fact, I did pull the panel, plug it in to see how it works. No need what so ever to pull the gas tank.
The thing with the Rushmore Road King is the "plug" is multi purpose, so by plugging the fan into it is fine and you can use the switch on the fan, but if you want to use the "AUX" switch under the handlebar you need to move one pin on the plug over 2 spaces which is not a big deal, its just this plug wasnt as easy to move pins so for now Ill just plug it in and mess around with the plug another time, you can also purchase a harley adapter for it.
Ok, with that said, the ONLY reason I did not put the fan on was I wanted a real sweet solution to the horn, even though the horn comes with a horn relocation kit which is well thought out, I decided I wanted to get rid of the chrome cover all together and do my own thing which I now know I am going to mount right above the oil cooler without any cover. This is where MAYBE I have to take the tank off to run the wire up to the front but I THINK I can snake the wire through under the tank using a fiberglass pull rod.
Its looking like I MAY have time to do it this Friday, looking forward to it.
(Last week I installed the Electraglow Saddlebag lights from Harley, nice and bright, love it, hope they last!)
