Built the best engine cooling system...again
Woohoo! Got the setup today. Took all of 10-15 minutes to install. You've built a very high quality, professional looking device. I was most impressed with it when I unwrapped it. Well done!
When I got to my shop after picking it up at the post office my gauge showed engine temperature of 316 degrees. It's 104 today in Vegas. After installation I picked up my daughter for a late lunch and en route to house then restaurant the gauge bounced back and forth between 241-243 and only shot up ONLY to 250 when waiting at stoplight. Well done again! The cooling fans not only look awesome but they've delivered the expected results.
Thanks for getting them to me so quickly, my riding will now be more pleasant, with no more worries of overheating, getting stranded, damage to engine and all that excessive heat entails. Again, thank you much!

Hey Jason, It hit over 100 degrees yesterday in North central WV and I wish I had your fans installed.
My friend Joe just got your fan and i'm looking forward to see how it works.
Talk to you later.

I was and still am there, been hotter than hell, I'm native to Morgantown. I only had a couple sets I put aside for some close friends and family, Joe was one of them. I assure you it works well, I wouldn't sell my friend some crap cause I got to look him in the eye the next time I come around. I see you just got a HD Forum account, if you want to make a deposit, I have less than 10 reservations left before I run out of fans, should be able to get them to you NLT mid Aug, after these are gone it will be 3-4 months before I get more fans in.

Jason, just got mine installed and like everyone has said the install is easy and the instructions you have on the website are good. The wire harness you provide is plenty long enough IMO, I ran it up and underneath the tank then back to the battery. Had plenty of wire to tuck down beside the battery. Just got back from the test ride and it works great
One question for the PCV experts on here running AT, when I got back from my ride I hooked up my PC and looked to make sure the AT was working (had to disconnect it all to get to the battery) and I noticed the engine temp reading in the PC SW was showing 219. Is this an accurate reading? Is this the reading the ECM uses to shut down the rear cylinder?
I let the bike idle or about 3-4 minutes and it only went up to 226, this was with the fans running.
Thanks again for a great product!

Ok, I'm all out of fans, new reservations from this point forward will be on hold until about Oct/Nov. Thats when I get fans, however, I can still get the housings prepared in your specified finish so once I do get the fans it will only be a matter of days after I do get the fans, that I can start assembling and shipping. A little new info on my site here regarding new finish options, I will send out a configuration sheet link soon as I get it ready.

Just Installed
Aloha Jason,
Got my fans on Saturday and just like it has been stated here, the longest part of the install was trying to decide where to run the wires. I must admit, that true to my nature of being a man, no written instructions were necessary. I have an old cop bike so I connected my fans to the siren switch at the left hand controls. I flicked it on after I had it all hooked up and it has a kind of whining slow start, sounds like a turbine firing up...very cool. I'm still waiting for my tins to come back from paint, so no road test yet. Will let you know when I do the circle island run - Mahalo!
