Le Nale Cooling Fan
I purchased a Le Nale cooling fan for my 2002 Harley Lowrider last year and traded the bike in for a 2010 Street Glide in January 2010. I wanted to install the fan on my Street Glide because it really does work, and I'm getting ready to take a trip where the temperatures exceed 90-100 degrees every day. I was having trouble finding a horn relocation bracket to mount to the Street Glide because the downtubes are 1 3/8" instead of the 1 1/4" tubes on the Lowrider. I finally contacted Len at Lenale maufacturing and asked if I could get just the bracket that goes around the tube, and this morning I had an email from him saying he was going to send me a complete horn relocation kit. This is way more than I expected and is the best customer service I have ever received. Len is a very honest man and will stand behind his product 100%. I used the fan extensively when it was on the Lowrider with no problems whatsoever. If you are thinking about installing a Lenale fan I would highly recommend you do so. Len is a military veteran and would appreciate the business. Plus you would be helping out a fellow veteran instead of buying some junk made in China. And no I do not work for Lenale manufacturing. I just like to give credit where it is due.

I would not leave home without one on mine. I have had the Lanale fan on my last two bikes and they are great for heavy traffic. Try not to spray wash them because they are not 100% water proof. I had one quit after 8 months but they replaced it free with the newer model.

Looks like a good addition to any bike. I've bookmarked the website.
I'd like to see this quality fan as an addon to existing oil coolers as well. The combination of the two would keep the engine temps down in even the hottest environments. Like sitting behind the oil cooler in the pic. If you can't see it that's ok because it was designed to blend in. It's between the downtubes in front of the front cylinder.

As has been said before, Harley engines were designed to be air cooled, and aren't afraid of heat. There's a lot of internet hysteria about it, but I'd strongly suggest sending an oil sample to Blackstone before you start spending a ton of money on cooling your engine. What you'll find after your oil analysis is that after 5,000 miles your oil is like new.

They provide concrete proof of how your engine is performance. Been using them for years...
