Default HD fan kit?

Anyone have one of these on their bike? How effective are they in lowering temps?

i wish they made a fan for the oil cooler.

I put one on my 08EGC, I put it on the same time as an oil cooler so I don't what one is better. Is it worth the high price, I don't know, but than what is? I did not like the horn relocation an did not use it. I put a springer horn above the oil cooler on the cross brace.
After installing it, about a month later I did not like it on the thermostat so I wired it to the accessory switch. The unit itself seems to be of good quality.

I put a Linale Engineering Fan on mine when I put the Kuryakyn horns in behind my Bags.
Filled the hole I guess

added the HD fan to my Ultra last year, along with an oil cooler, and synth oil.
Have done several of the summertime "stop and go" rides with no problems. Oil cooler drops the temp when I'm underway, and the Fan kicks on when I'm in traffic - combination has kept the engine from going into skip fire mode even in 98 degree ambient air.
For several yrs, harley had trouble with the welds on the bracket breaking. They seem to have solved it in 2007 with the most recent part number.

Added rivco horns to mine on the lower crash bar.. stuck the compressor in the lower fairing, added the steel locking doors.

Installed one for my dad on his ultra he loves it in stop and go traffic we also did what Kenny did when we installed it and put it on a switch so dad turns it on when he needs it or wants it. We thought the thermostate was set to high and it needed to turn on sooner. Works good looks good hes happy.

I have one on my ultra and feel it was a good investment. I put a folded air horn under the battery box which work fine and can not be seen.

They are said to have a short life, sometimes. It seems the vibes from the motor kills them.
