Took the horn off, will look for better location and set up than the recommended one. From the right side of engine, does not feel that strong but in between the cyls it feels pretty strong.
My buddy's fan seems to slow down when the motor is running and shaking. It blows really well when the engine is off, but as soon as the vibration starts, the fan slows down...
Took me two minutes. Opened box, gave box to 19 year old son and told him to install it, took him 20 minutes.
Dont like running the wire on top of engine with front spark plug wire but it works for now, will put under tank next time I have it up on lift table.
Will see how it works tomorrow in Miami traffic or day after when rain stops.
I installed mine last week and the weather turned cool so haven't had a chance to see who well it works. From all the reading I've done on this site regarding the LeNale fan, I have not seen anything negitive about it. Let us know how it work in th Miami heat.
I relocated my horn where they recommend (down tube near shifter) and am happy with the location.

I have one and would do it again. I noticed the same, not too much on the right side, but put your hand behind the rear cyl on the left side. I notice alot of air and heat coming off the rear cyl on that side.
After getting back from a ride yesterday my oil temp was 201. I was adjusting my TFI and had it idling for apprx 5 minutes with the fan on. After 5 minutes of idling my oil temp was still 201. Can't for sure say it was all the fan, but seems logical.

Reason: ch
Oil temp doesn't tell all, I have a Jagg 10 row oil cooler on my RG with S&S 106, heads Woods 7HG Cams and 2-1 exh, I can idle for 10-15minutes and yellow engine warning light will come on indicating high head temps. and I've checked the oil temp and that was only 215 degrees. Oil temp doesn't tell of high head temps. I hooked up my Thundermax to read the head temp and warning light is set to come on at 375 degrees head temp, the reading I got was 388 degrees. So once again oil temps do not tell all..
Nope. It's plugged in to the AUX plug under the seat. It seems the fan is upset by the vibrations from the motor. If you put your hand on it to steady the fan it blows much harder.
