Exclamation Give me MORE heat ?

For those of you who have them. I just wonder. When in town, and that engine is so hot - then have the "love Jugs" side cylinder fans come on -
--- What does the opposite side leg, feel like ? Seem like it would add a whole lot more heat the that right leg. ?

I don't feel any extra heat on my right leg. I have the Wards fans, but they are the same as Love Jugs

No extra heat on right leg, sometimes more heat on left leg. Just depends on wind and how hot the engine is. It does not flow through the motor to the right, but can reflect off the engine to the left.

If I spend a lot of time in traffic I feel some more heat on my right leg. But I just move my foot up to the highway peg.
Once you get moving again everything starts to cool off again.

I also keep my feet up on highway pegs most of the time. I put my foot down to shift and brake, then use front brake after stopped and put foot back up on highway peg while sitting so that I sure helps why I don't feel the heat as much.
