Red face PayPal fees

"Please don't use the deposit payment button 5 times to pay for your system in full, it cost me more in Paypal fees, full payment is not required, and it will not expedite your order."


Guilty as charged. I'm sorry Jason, I wanted to pay the balance thinking it may help you move forward and I wanted to be paid in full just in case others were not able to complete their purchase on time. I would have payed it in one payment but the only options with PayPal were $50.00 or $250.00. Since I paid the $50 deposit first it was the only way I was able to pay the balance. So sorry for the PayPal fees. Is there a way around this dilemma or is it possible to take credit cards directly?

No trouble, it was a unique situation that I just wanted to prevent in the future. I should have made it clear that I would send out invoices for the balance for those who made a deposit; I will add that bit of info to the buy button description.

Many thanks to all who made deposits and paid up front when they weren't required, your payments allowed me to go ahead and order fans as early as possible, to help speed up production so others could enjoy this product. My sincere appreciation goes out to all the members who have supported me through this project, Thank You.

Got my fans installed. Yes, they look great and are extremely well built and designed...but we all know that. Well, add to all this the fact that I couldn't be happier with their performance. I did my usual Sunday ride...80 miles of 2 lane twisties. I've been concerned that my bike runs hot. Yes, I can keep CHT's in the 260's if I'm movin' steady, but when I'm pushin' hard and then need to slow, I see the 290's real quick. Stop me at a light or 2 and I see 306-312, and when that happens, it takes a loooong time of ideal cruising to bring temps back down. I've seen my OT at 267, and I never want to see that again even though I can be persuaded that these bikes can take it. With the fans, where I would formerly see 290's, I now see the 240's, and stop me at a light, and the CHT's drop pretty fast to the low 220's. What surprised me even more was that OT followed the temp drop faster than I expected. I hate to repeat myself, but I couldn't be happier. So throw me on the heap...I'm just one more person sayin', 'Atta boy, Jason...great work!'.

Can't wait for mine to arrive. Ordered them around July 1 and think it will be the middle of August before I get them. Sure could use them now!

Another thought for those that have them and tuners (PV, TTS, SEPST).....did you find that you had to retune due to the lower engine temps and changed VEs?

No did not re tune I use power vison. You can set parameters on the data you use to tune such as temp.

Are the installation instructions available anywhere online? I'd like to pre-read the install process before my fans arrive.
