When we asked him about other products, all he said was that he was in business for 10 years and the test of time weeds out products that don't work.

Well I have between 15 & 20K miles on my FCS and I haven't experienced any problems. When I bought a second FCS for a Dyna I purchased Jason gave me a heavy duty rubber mount because he thought the one on the bike seemed a little weak (Yes I have met him and picked up the second FCS at his house). He wasn't worried that it would break, just that it could flex too much allowing the fans to vibrate against the cylinders. Anyway, I haven't used it yet because everything seems fine with that installation, no vibrating against the cylinders. Getting back to your problem with the Wardspartswerks FCS, the fans didn't fail, that is if your story is true in the first place, the mount failed. Anyone worried about that happening can get a stronger replacement mount from Jason. So stop Trolling and running down Wardspartswerks FCS. He has never said anything negative about the Lenale fan even in private conversations with him, this I believe is because he is a class act and he believes his product speaks for itself.

I have set of wards fans and a jag fan assisted oil cooler and I can tell you that the wards fans works awesome and the jagg fan assisted fan flat out sucks ***. The oil cooler is great but don't waste your money on the fan. It does nothing at all.

I have my fan on a switch and I have done the same route home in the same traffic and I haven't noticed one degree drop in oit temp with the fan off or on... A waste of money IMO

I've always had the ultra cool. I got rid of their first generation last year and installed their reefer.

The reefer looks better, is much larger cooler, has 2 fans, idiot light on dash when it's running. Comes on around 190-200 and keeps things a max of 240-250 during worse case situations. Worse case being summer heat and riding highway speeds then going local traffic at a standstill. I replaced their little 1/4 inch green led which you can't see in daylight with a 1/2 inch 7 color mood light that will cycle 7 colors softly but you can see it to know the fans on.

I like it.
