Love Jugs install today

This is on the "list" for the Fat Bottom Girl" ... is there a way to make them come on when the bike starts or do you just have to remember to start them? ... not sure my old brain is up to that ... LOL ... Just yesterday I got on the trike and couldn't figure out why it wouldn't start ... hmmmm ... that fobby thing has to be there.

My jugs engage at start up. That is if I have the fan switches in the on position.

I originally had mine wired directly to the battery, so I had turn them off/on. A couple of times I forgot to turn them on but when my engine started heating up I could tell they were off. I attempted to turn them on in a parking lot while I was on the trike in neutral. As I was leaning down to turn them on my foot slipped off of the brake and I rolled a bit before I was able to grab the hand brake or get my foot on the brake. I got myself all lined up and rode directly to HD to get the plug I needed. They are now off/on with the ignition switch. Papa Zook will sell you the plug when you buy the fans.
 
Joe, on my 17 M8 Freewheeler the Mighty Mites have dropped the heat by 30 degrees, this does not sound like much but the engine likes it and so do I;)
Jack like you have said 30 degrees is a lot for an air cooled motor. I have posted before our Triglide never went over 245 degrees last season here in Pennsylvania. Rider comfort was much better even goin through some very long stretches of very slow moving traffic. When changing oil it smelled better and was no where near as black as previous years. Love jugs are a Twin cams best friend in my book, if you plan on keep your motor healthy they need to be on the important part of the list of thing to do. IMHO :good:travel safe Fred

Have Mighty Mites on my 2015 Freewheeler with about the same resulting temp drop. I run them all the time. They are wired direct to the battery because I am already using the accessory plug for something else. I turn them on before starting the engine to make sure they are running. Once the engine is running I can't hear them. One of the best additions I have made to my bike.
