The system can still be operated manually with the built in toggle switch, until the thermal switch can be installed.

As soon as I get my tranny fixed I'll get a hold of you Jason. I have to think priority's.....fans won't be needed if bike don't move and I don't know what or how much I'm going to have to put in the tranny......Man I want to pull the trigger so bad on these.

Jason, Can you shoot me a PM on the current price for a black unit no thermal switch. I think I'd like to buy one to put on the shelf for the future. I'm going to continue running my existing fans until they no longer work.

Default Wards Parts Werks Fans

Received my chrome Wards Parts Werks fans and thermostat yesterday. Orderedon the 7th and arrived on the 10th awesome!!! Installation was a snap. Orderedwith the B+ plug so didn't even have to grab wire cutters.

Once installed, I fired up the bike and let her idle until the parade mode engaged (before installing the oil cooler thermostat). Set my stop watch andwaited for the idle to return to normal. Only took 62 seconds for the parademode to kick off once the fans were on. With my Lenale fan, took longer than Iwas willing to let the bike idle in the garage.

Oil cooler install was a snap thanks to an HDForums member who posted somepictures. (Jason @ Wards Parts Werks has the link on his site).

Knock on wood... I appreciate the vote of confidence. Most should experience a very long service life out of their system, how long is yet to be seen but I do offer a 2 year warranty to repair or replace. So far, legitimate fan motor failure rate is well under 1%; while that is not a perfect record it is quite impressive for a "new" product. Naturally I prefer zero failures but that is an unrealistic goal when talking electrical components.

I installed my fans yesterday. I used the dremel to make the horn bracket fit with the fans. I am not running stock horn cover. Easy fix, 1 minute. The quality is amazing of this unit. These things moves some air! I did a quick hook up of my tuner and a computer to monitor engine temp. I warmed it up to 260. Then I turned on the fans and it went to 230 in a few mins (then I stopped). I am very satisfied. Jason shipped these very quickly in great packaging.

Here is a video of my first test:

Im interested in this system but your website is a bit confusing for me.

-If I order one of your systems for $275 will it include whatever is neccessary for the fans to turn themselves on and off based on engine temp?

-Ive read through this thread and it looks like you offer different options for wiring/ finish etc. but I see no mention of options on your website.

Please someone break this system down for me

Thanks
