Default Installed a LeNale fan last night

Took a couple hours for a not very handy perfectionist. But it works great and while it may be noisy with the bike OFF, it's barely audible while idling and completely inaudible while riding. I will keep you guys up to date regarding durability and customer service. So far it works well and looks great.

Had one on 3 bikes . Worked well for me. After 2016 no need I went to wet head engines.
You may want to work on moving the right leg a bit , that thing will move a lot of air.

Where did you move your horn to?

Okay this may sound funny but is this blowing super hot air between the jugs and into the intake? Would it be better to pull air though if possible? Does the air blow through behind the the filter?

Not an issue. The fan moves more air blowing across jugs.

Actually, I completely eliminated my horn. The relocation kit put it directly in front of the oil filter, so I would have to remove the horn every time I changed the oil.

I also considered how many times I've used the horn in an emergency situation (hardly ever). I'm usually busy trying to save my own life instead of searching for the horn.

I may eventually get the heat deflectors and install it up there. But the recommended location was terrible.

I have been running my Lenale since 2011 with zero problems other than cooking my right thigh. Physics says all that heat energy has to go somewhere. I guess as long as the bike is happy I can live with it.

Horn idea for you. Did this on my 2007,2011 and the 2013. Horns need some flex in the mounting to work right. The air deflectors that run from engine guard up near front of the tank are plenty strong enough. Tapped a small hole in it mounted horn there, out of sight worked prefect. Latter I added a second one on the other side.

Just got to say IMO purposely riding without a horn is just plain stupid. My horn has saved me several times. I run an Wolo air horn mounted like this.
