No matter what kind of fans you get, they do help. I have wards fans too, and they have made mine run cooler.

I had the same set of Wards on 3 trikes. About 100,000 miles total. I was run off the road by a drunk and FW landed in a canal and sank' It was underwater for a few hours. The fans still worked the next day. I'm a believer!

Removing the catalytic converter solved all my "Heat" issues. I use simple Nightrider FL-Vied-10s to richen her up a bit.

Any one have trouble getting anything from Jason at wards. I put my down payment but have not heard anything for him. I see no phone number.

Jason is completely swamped with orders so I'm sure that has a lot to do with it.

Jason doesn’t do the phone thing, he got back to me in a couple of days by email for the final payment. I would not worry, he's a stand-up guy from everything I have read. I didn't get a tracking number when it shipped but it arrived 3 days after the final payment.

I know some say that Jason is busy and a stand up guy. I send some e-mails using his email and it was returned not working. It has been three days going on 4. I understand busy but you need to do something to help keep up.

:Agree: 100% Great chose Bob!! I have had mine for about 5 yrs or so and love them. I have the auto thermostat still in my tool box and never installed it as I prefer to turn mine off/on manually. You will love them. I have a Power Vision tuner and do monitor my engine temp so I can see how much they cool when on. I have experienced 20 to 30 degrees of ET when I turn them on, which is usually when my ET reaches about 260 degrees.

Did you have to do anything special to them to get them to manually turn on and off. I did not get a set because I live in Montana and only need them about 2 or 3 months out of the year. I was told they are on all the time. That would not work for me. Thank you in advance .

Id love a set but won't get something I can not turn on and off.

There is a toggle switch on the fans. I have the fans hooked directly to a switch on the dash, so I can turn them on and off from there while riding. It's a redundant thing, but I leave the toggle switch on the fans on all the time and control it from the dash switch.

 

[hotrodbob]

Fans are on the way just paid for them. I would like to just use a on and off switch for now.

:Agree: 100% only I just use the toggle switch on the unit. Very easy to switch while riding!! I use my assessor switch on the dash for my air cushion set.

I purchased my fan prior to Jason developing the thermostatic switch and ordered later but chose not to install.

Thanks for the information. Ill be ordering a set as soon as I can come up with the bucks . I have a list going at the moment. Usually can only do one or two mods a year as I ride a ton and have to pay for a lot of maintenance.

I know all about lists. I'm glad I've already got fans. Right now I'm budgeting for a RAM mount phone holder. Then next on the 'bucket list' is the oil cooler/filter relocation kit from DK Customs. That'll probably be next season.

 

[hotrodbob]

Got the fans in and installed. Just going to use the toggle switch for now. I did not have the right RTV. They look great and are great quality. They Move a lot of air.

To answer the question you asked>>>> No cooling fans are not a must but some people elect to have them. It is a very small percent of Harley's that have them.

Here they are installed. The FW is dirty.
