Is this the electric fan mounted where the horn is normally?

Jims Flowforce Review
So, I posted this below review on my Amazon account, which is where I bought this from.
Thought I'd share it here, as when I was looking, didn't find to much info from actual buyers of this. Bought it because of the BikerNet test/review.

Yep...It works...let me get that out of the way first. It works, and works well.
After building up and Hot Rodding my 2007 Twin Cam Road King, (Feuling Oil Pump, Billet Cam Plate, Woods 55 Cams, Fuel Moto Push Rods, Feuling Lifters, head work and 103ci top end, PV1 Fuel Management) , my bike, which had always run hot as it was, (Stock 96ci) became pretty unbearable. Routinely hitting 300 degrees + temps, hitting the oil breakdown point more than once (Red Line 20/50 and even 20/60 Synthetic)
I wasted time and money doing the Jagg Fan Assisted Oil Coolers. First one was the one low mounted. No air flow and no way to keep it from leaking...no room under there...so I then went with the Side-mount. Aside from it was fugly it also had issues with leaking and I also never understood how the fan would point forward into the wind and then when I was going at speed how that was supposed to work etc.
They maybe reduced the temp 10 or so degrees...which really didn't help all that much.
So after looking at the reviews for the Lenale and also the Wards Fans, Love Jugs etc...was a little concerned when I didn't see too many reviews for this Jims Flowforce, but a couple I did see were pretty detailed, so gave it a shot.
Fairly easy installation, if you know your way around a wrench, should be able to do this, no issues.
Then went for a ride....around Chicago...in almost stopped dead traffic. I usually hit the shoulders or bicycle lanes but always have to keep an eye out for the law. This time, just stopped, go, stopped go etc... Fan kicked in the way it was supposed to and I kept checking my temp gauge. 10 miles of this and usually my EITMS kicked in, and usually pushed 320 degrees or so like this....this time, with the fan running...only hit like 220. Thinking maybe this was a cooler day or something...took it back to the shop...unplugged the fan, and hit the road again...let it hit 300...stopped, plugged it back in...sat there...not moving. Watched it steadily drop until it hit like 240 or so in just about 5 or 6 mins...then rode it some and it dropped back lower to the 220 range... so I have to give it its props.
So for less than the $450 cost of the Jagg Fan-assisted oil coolers, which only give me maybe 10 degrees off (they *say 20) this whacked approx. 80 or so off my oil temp gauge.
Buy it. It works.

Check out Wards Part Werks he is a vendor here. I have been running his fan setup for 2 seasons now. I have nothing but good things to report about his product and it won't cost you nearly $450.00.
