New Harley rider. Bought an '05 Road King and have noticed how hot it gets on my upper legs.&nbsp\\; Does anyone have any thoughts on the electric blowers?&nbsp\\; Are they worth the price?&nbsp\\; Thanks

 

We sell a ton of 'em to the State Troopers. Mind you, there's no mounting kit for the '08's yet.

 

Check into heat shields first.
RJ's
HD's
Kuryakyn's

I must agree heat sheilds are a must.

 

The concept is good, but the HD fans are very expensive. Aftermarket units like the LeNale have questionable reliability but are cheaper. I would try addng an oil cooler to bring down peak oil temperatures, which should help noticeably.

 

I've an '05 RK classic\\; I put the heat shields (I used the HD ones) on and it made a world of difference.&nbsp\\; I am in Florida and no problems now.

 

going to a synthetic lowers your temps and of course heat shields do work good

 

Try COOL THIGHS! Not too expensive, they work and there is NO installation. &nbsp\\;Best part is that you can take them from bike to bike easily!!! [sm=signs003.gif]

I installed a fan by Lenale engineering.&nbsp\\; I have had no problems with it except the little horn bracket broke off so I just used the relocation kit and went with the stock horn.&nbsp\\; When I am in traffic I reach down and put the fan on.&nbsp\\; As I start moving more I turn it off.&nbsp\\; I also have an oil cooler and use all synthetic.&nbsp\\; Here's a link to my bike:
