I have the Ultra Cool fan assist oil cooler on my bike. The temp. here today is in the mid 80,s. On this particular route I know my oil temp always reaches 225 to 230 degree. 230 is as high as it ever gets with the addition of the oil cooler. Today as I pulled back into the driveway my oil temp was below the 210 mark, aprox. 207 degree. That is very cool for my bike. I say the FCS works as advertised!
So are your fans running all the time or do you cut them off when moving down the road? For some reason I was thinking they would only be effective when stationary, but your post leaves me to believe that you kept them on.

I may have spoke too soon, In2It says he had his install done by 11:30 yesterday morning, may need an official ruling for rights to call "first".

Anytime vehicle speed is below about 50MPH, the system will provide a substantial cooling benefit.

The route I took was not interstate. I rarely got over 50 mph so yes they were on all the time.
