the HD version had a problem with the mounts breaking ( that was some years ago).
check wardspartswerks or wards fans or FCS, you'll find some posts on fans, there is also a website.

while I don't have on my bike, that may change as it is gettin' toasty out there!

I havee a Lenale fan. Bought it the summer of 2010 and it still works great. My ThunderMax shows a fast and definite drop in head temps when I turn on my fan. Sounds like a jet engine spooling up when I start it.
There is one issue with parade fans that you may not be aware of (I know I wasn't) When you turn on a parade fan to cool down a hot engine where do you think all that excess heat goes? The answer is the inside of your right thigh! It feels like a jet exhaust blowing burning (literally) hot air onto your leg. You can tell the guys using their fans, they are the ones trying to hold their right legs up and out of the exhaust stream! (ask me how I know this.)

HUGE THUMBS UP for Jason's fans.
I've been running them over 2 summers. They've worked flawlessly. I'm not on the thermostat, just the switch. Turn them on & forget them... turn them off after I kill the bike.
I've only got one "revelation" for you. If your running a stock football cover over your a/c... the fans WILL be introducing that hot air off your heads into your intake. I simply had the center machined off & run it open now.
His product works as advertised.

Just ordered mine w/thermo from Jason. I'm not crazy about the looks of any of them but the Wards Fan, I can grow to like. They're not big and bulky and I for one want to keep my stock horn cover. As for function... HDF members have given it great reviews. I'll let ya know.
