Yeah I have it on as well as the fans that sit on the side fans that Jason Ward used to have.

Folks sell them on here occasionally.
This is where I picked up mine.
You have to be diligent about checking the classifieds.

Do they both help yes.

As far as degrees go I couldn't tell you.
I'd say at least 15-20 degrees.
Remember oil temp & air temp are two different things.

I used to have an oil bud cooler on not in conunction with the fans though.
It also helped and dropped the oil temp 20 degrees.
I replaced the air temp w/a HD oil temp gauge.
Got tired of if and the leaks and residual leaks associated with them.
So after several years it came off and went to the scrap heap.

The Wards fans blow across the side from left to right and the cool flow fan sucks the hot air fron the rear cylinder to the ground rather than blowing air at it.

I have the cool flow fan wired direct to the aux switch to where it comes on as soon as I hit the switch it comes on.
No thermostat. The Wards fans also wired to the Aux but have their own switch and can be turned on or off as needed.

Would I recommend them? Yes as anything to help with the heat dispersement is worth it IMHO.

Yes, I installed it on my SGS.

It operates in the Auto mode and only comes on when the air temp is 80+F.

Before I installed the Coolfan, my right leg (knee area) would cook when in slow or stop and go traffic. The heat comming off the rear jug was intense. Since the install, my leg never gets so hot as to be unconfortable.

I did the install myself, but on my '19 SGS the dealer had to flash the BCM or ECM (Don't remember which). It also required a special wiring harness that needed to be purchased seprately.

I feel the install was worth the cost.

Same here, I installed in on my 2015 and its intended use is for stoplights, sitting or parade speeds. I turn it on at stops if it is hot out and the waits are long. With that said, I also use the Love Jugs which run all the time when it is summer or hot and I turn them off in the fall, winter & spring.

The Love Jugs actually drops the engine temps by blowing air onto the heads, but some of the air gets blown towards your right leg, so the MOCO fan sucks air from the heads and blows it downward towards the gap in the frame and tire

I will likely add an cooler this summer as well, which will bring the engine temps down a bit as well.

I'm contemplating it but I don't have the cooking right leg thing. PO has her tuned rich so it seems to keep the engine fairly cool. But it does suck down some fuel.
