It is the best accessary I've added to my bike. I monitor my head temp. and when it gets above 280, I switch the fan on. Always drops the temp. even in the hottest weather and/or while stopped.
The only down side is it blows hot air onto your right leg..still better than overheating the engine though.
I dont have one, but have met the gent who owns the company that produces them because he lives in my In-Laws development in Dunkirk Maryland. He's a nice quiet man, a lawyer by day, and seems pretty passionate about the fan business.
1711 tab has one on his bike. I have worked on bikes with them, they seen to move a fair amount of air.

Eric is one sharp cookie and he stands behind his fans 1000%... I have the fan/horn combo on my build and as nc-renegade stated "It is the best accessory I've added to my bike." It does reduce head temps... 205 CFM blows directly on the heads... I installed a thermostat on mine, the fan turns on whenever the head temp reaches 280 degrees and off when it falls below 280 degrees...
I feeling good about going ahead and buying one, the price sure seems right :smile:
Well got my fan in the mail today, first impressions are good.. I like the fit and finish and looks to be of superior quality. Will install this weekend...
1711 tab, how did you rig the thermostat....details please.....I will be installing on my 07 Ultra.... :pop:
Are they still making the cooler for softail oil coolers?

Is there any side affects from blowing that hot air into your air intake for the motor ?
Just askin?
$200 fan vs $250 oil cooler :duel:
Here"s another gadget, put both of them on and you can just leave it running like a diesel

I have both on my softail. I also know what my head temp is in realtime. The fan knocks the temp down immediately, especially good when stuck in traffic at 90 + degree days. My oil cooler works well, but did not impact head temp that much....keeps the oil cool though.

It doesn't blow hot air in the intake as it's on the left side not right side of motor...
Well install is done, instructions were good...relocated the horn as per kit to left down tube near floorboard. Can say it doesnt look 1/2 bad there. Seems to really push alot of air and it does sound like a jet engine winding up :smile:...brings back memories of flying b-52s in the Air Force lol...Real test will be driving 95 south in rush hour traffic in a couple months.... :pop:
>> It doesn't blow hot air in the intake as it's on the left side not right side of motor... <<
I disagree, the fresh air goes into the back of the A/C cover. In my opinion it shoves the hot air right into the A/C. :emsad:

While I'd agree with this, I'd bet the ridin down the road, the AC ain't getting much more hot air than normal. I figure the fan is good for parade duty, cruising Strugis looking for a parking spot, etc... Running hot air into the motor probably won't hurt it.. Makes it run a little richer unless of course its a speed density FI system...

Do you have one installed on your bike?
No. But if I did my cover would be off, especially for just sitting at lights, very slow moving etc.

I didn't think you did... If you had you would have seen that the air flows / blows on the heads and not through the center of the cylinders towards the intake... FYI...
:up: Cool. (no pun intended) :teeth:

It's a really good product and Eric stands behind his product with good warranty service...
Thats great, I've heard alot of good about the product and him. However, I still have not changed my mind.
