I had a chance to go for a ride this afternoon, me on my '15 Heritage with the big bore kit and LJ Mighty Mites and my wife on her '09 Crossbones with a 103 motor and no EITMS. My phone said the city temperature was 97 degrees.
I kept the fans off for the first 10 miles of highway and first bit of stop-and-go city traffic. It didn't take long for the EITMS to kick in and I turned the fans on at that light. About six blocks later at the next light the EITMS did not kick in and it didn't kick in again the rest of the ride.
We stopped at a friends shop about a mile later and he used an infrared thermometer to measure our head temperature on the front cylinder just ahead of the spark plug. My heads were 230 degrees and my wife's were 310 degrees.
It's not very scientific but I'm very happy with the initial performance. I'm now curious about the performance over time, how long the fans will last and if the mild vibration causes any problems.

We've done quite a bit of testing with the Love Jugs Fans (346-800-7946).
We tested both the Cool-Master and the Mighty-Mite.
We tested on Air-cooled and Twin-Cooled, both on 2 wheelers and Trikes.
All the tests results were very similar. Below are the results for an Air-Cooled Twin Cam 2 wheeler.
This particular Twin Cam already had many of the cooling components outlined in this REPORT installed, so the temps already were much lower than a factory Twin Cam.
However, as you can see in the Love Jugs test results below, the fans were effective in providing significant additional cooling.
There were 5 different tests with each fan type.
The first two tests were a combo, showing what the temperatures got to with the fans off, then showing what the temps cooled down to once the fans were turned on.
All tests were conducted the same day, same gas, same roads, same speed, same wind conditions. On all but the last test, variables were 99% eliminated, to give us a true comparison.
On the last test, stop-n-go traffic, it was impossible to keep the variables even close, thus the slight variance in results.
We are not selling these, but we do recommend them as one of the components in an overall strategy of taming the heat on both the Twin Cam and Milwaukee-Eight. You can see our complete Report on why and how to Cool down your ride HERE.
If you do choose to use the Cool-Master or Mighty-Mite, we recommend you get them at www.buylovejugs.com or call them at this number- (346-800-7946), mention that we referred you, & they'll put a little something extra in your package for you.
Key to the above chart:
Amb= Ambient Temperature at the time of the testing
CHT= The front cylinder head temperature as measured by the OEM factory sensor, and displayed on the Power Vision as ET
FC= Temperature measured with a heat gun, directly behind the spark plug on the Front Cylinder
RC= Temperature measured with a heat gun, directly behind the spark plug on the Front Cylinder

so buylovejugs.com and lovejugs.com are two different companies? You certainly can't tell by the web sites.
On a more important note anyone have experience with using the vibration master mount? I install my mighty mites on my FXDC over the weekend and don't have a lot of vibration issues (yet) but wondering if the mount is worth the extra $$ to prevent future issues.

Call 346-800-7946 and they will be able to answer your questions on the mounts.

No, that is because you did not go to buylovejugs.com to order them. You went to a different website/phone number.
We only have an arrangement with buylovejugs.com at this phone # (346-800-7946) to get a little something extra when you order your Love Jugs.
