I'm not in a big rush. I've rode a lot miles without one up until now! If there is somebody behind me that needs theirs quickly because of a trip or something, put them ahead of me. I've spent all my money on the Hawaii trip and finishing up my shop. Only local riding for me this year, which is pretty darn good in my area!

Pics look great! Lookin forward to hearing from you. Will you be accepting payment via Pay Pal? I'm still not clear on whether the fans are operated by thermostat or if they are manually turned on/off by the switch you have mounted on them.

Manual operation via switch in the mount, still working an affordable auto switch.

I'm working on the web page right now, so I can link it and announce new vendor sponsorship, so I can be "legal" to sell. I will be using PayPal. I should be shipping first batch within 10 days, I'm a little behind but not too bad, thanks again for everyones patience.

JetD, don't send out condolences yet, the situation may be bad but it's not terminal, and if it is, 120R is the next stop, lol, I'm not even going to go through a long shop story, if she needs any kind of life support, I'm pulling the plug.

Sounds good! Thanks for clearing that up. I would just as soon have it manual, less to worry about. Your doing a great job, no hurries at all. Get all ducks in a row before ya go live with it. Would hate to hear of somethin goin wrong because of a technicality. Take your time.

Those pics look real good, and a manual switch is good, with a auto switch where do you think you would be hooking the temp sensor? Also if you do go auto, be sure to offer a retro fit for those who may want to add it later. Good work so far, I'm sure this venture is going to work well for you.

And I'll be on the road for a couple weeks, so if I don't pick up my PM announcement for a day or two, I will get it within a couple.
Lookin good!!

Default We have lift off

Vendor/Sponsorship launched. WARDS PARTS WERKS WILL be taking over from here. https://www.hdforums.com/forum/touri...ml#post9786232 this has been a lot of fun but it's time to start selling stuff. There is a slight delay in production, I'm waiting on some parts to come back from heat treatment so I can finish the shear/punch for the round protective screens. Check out the new website just launched also and let me know where adjustments need to be made. Thanks again to all who have supported me. http://www.wardspartswerks.com/index.html I have to run right now but I'll catch up with you guys this evening.
Jason
