I received my new LeNale fan in the mail today. I would like to pick up power from a spare in the fuse box but have no idea how to access it to tie into it. I have already used the accessory switch for my Road Zepplin seat and don't realy want to go directly to the battery with an inline fuse if I can help it.
The fan is thermostat controlled but I will be installing a switch so I have the option to turn it on when I want to. Anyone know how to access the fuse box to tie in the fan wires?
Are you sure the fan is thermostat controlled. And if it is, even with a external switch, you wont be able to turn it on unless you bypass the thermostat. BTW....really like mine.
This is what I used when I installed the Lenale fan on my 2010 Street Glide. It works really slick.

Check out the Ultra Cool oil cooler with built in fan. It is a one piece unit that takes care of it all. http://www.ultracoolfl.com/

Gee, I feel like I'm entering the lion's den by challengeing a member with as many posts as Dr. V-Twin; but here goes.
My impression of the ultra cool is that it is a thermostatically controlled, fan cooled oil cooler. Doesn't the LeNale just blow air between the cylinders and remove the heat from that area?
Is it just different methods of arriving at engine cooling?

One of the forum members here posted some extensive data on the effects of cooling the cylinders with a parade fan vs an oil cooler/fan combo. Reduction in oil temperature was much greater with the parade fan as opposed to just using an oil cooler/fan combo. I have the LeNale fan and the Harley oil cooler, and I am very happy with it's ability to keep oil temps at 200 when cruising and 230 in traffic. I'm sure the Ultra Cooler is a fine addition, but the data showed that you'll get more bang for your buck with the LeNale fan keeping the cylinders cool in traffic, and having an oil cooler do the rest while cruising. The Lenale fan blows air across the cylinders and is very effective.
I use the Switched Circuit Adapter Harness for my install also. I'd rather beable to turn on the fan before the motor starts to heat up. Easier to keep it cool then to try to cool if after its already getting hot.

I understand that concept, and agree with you. But that web site makes sense when it says it allows the engine to get to a certain temp first to eliminate condensation/water before it starts the cooling process.
not sure if its the same on an 09, but my 06 has an accessory plug behind the left side cover, by the ECM, and 1 under the seat (which you are using for your Zep)
