    Default Love Jugs Mighty Mites

    Going to put some on today that I got from the Trike Talk site owner Papa Zook on his buylovejugs.com site.

    I am going to test em over a couple days running the same route same temps same mph to see if the readings DO go down as much as I expect

    Stay Tuned Boys and Girls

    PS, I am going to hook em up direct to the battery with the supplied fuse

    My plug under the side cover is occupied ( secret weapon thanks D K Customs )

    Today, Not very hot by Florida standards

    My test run tonight 25 miles cruise set @ 70mph

    Fans on never saw 300 degrees

    Yesterday night same ride temp was 313

    Last time I looked when I parked in my garage temp was 288

    Riding Saturday if it aint raining, hoping for a longer ride in the heat of the day

    So far I am IMPRESSED

    Those are where my mount placed them it was simple bolt on I thought that is were they all fit the mount that comes with them placed them there I did no adjusting or anything like that. They seem to be working great and I feel no need to move them.

    Remember I went through a period of electrical interference with the PV and the accessory circuit/switch for the fans. Ride safe Fred

    Yup, I think I will let them be

    They are working so best to let them work

    The wiring to the battery sure was simple, I aint scared The only part I did not use was the original H D horn bracket, the one that came with the Mighty mites was far superior. The instructions R very easy, the vise grips did not work too good on the rubber isolator However I have a set of stud removers that worked GREAT for off and on

    I have had 2 sets like this 4 25 years they come in handy in tight areas

    You can get cheap models like this now most any where, when I bought mine they were a new product, Thus costing way more JMO

    Today was raining and a bit cooler

    I ran the fans on a longer trip, round trip was 55 miles @ 70 MPH

    The temp hung @ 250 with fans on

    The ambient air temp was 80 degrees with 100 per cent humidity

    The rain I am sure with the cooler air was a factor

    However the Mighty Nites are doing the job

    I did not see no where near 288 today

    I have Mighty Mites from Papa Zook too on my 2015 Freewheeler, wired directly to the battery. So far the highest temp I have seen is 275 running 70 MPH in 6th gear with ambient temp at 93 deg. A couple of times I turned the MMs off and the temp started climbing. Turned them back on and the temp started coming down in a couple of miles. On same run at 60 MPH in 5th gear the temp stayed right around 260 with MMs on. This was a short 30 mile run and the temp may continue to rise higher on an extended high speed run. Will find out if / when Harvey goes away and it quits raining. I am convinced that they are a good investment.

    Also, the quality of the MMs is top notch.

    Got mine here buylovejugs.com

    Fred, I dunno about HOT,

    What I do know is The M8 runs alot hotter than my 15Freewheeler

    The M8 also cools down alot faster

    It loses about ( not scientific) 10 degrees each minute it is off

    With the fans left on it cools faster, so in the garage I let them run while I plug my battery tender in ( that is about 2-3 minutes) total time

    I can ride an hour later, The engine is cool to the touch ( at the rocker boxes)

    I can honestly say the Love Jugs products DO WHAT THEY SAY

    AND the M 8 may run hotter BUT IMO it can handle the heat and use the heat to its advantage with a more complete burn inside the 4 valve heads because of the air and fuel flow plus the higher compresson ratio

    I may be wrong But I think the MOCO finally got a home run here and it will survive whilst others may soon go bye bye JMHO

    I agree M8 seems to be a great design so far, with the fans it is cooler my thoughts are how well is the oil handling those temps. Kevin has done a little research into heat and oil. Possibly he can chime in on the long term heat and lubricants, I'm sure he knows much more than I. Love Jugs sure do put your mind at ease in heavy traffic. you have a fine machine there Jack enjoy. ride safe Fred

    Thanks Fred, I am enjoying this new to me trike

    It is the finest HD I have owned to date

    However I bought a 92 FLHS new in 92, I had to ride it home in February in Minnesota, I have a lot of good stories about that bike

    If I could find another same color I would buy it

    Thumbs up

    Today I ran hard about 60 miles, some in stop and go traffic thru downtown Jax FLA ( construction on freeway thru downtown) Never saw temp get up to 288 with the fans on

    I come to this conclusion, IMO every Harley including the iron barrel Shovels could use this Fan set up

    If we had this years ago we still might be riding them today

    I can only imagine what a Softail feels like now with the rider sitting on top of the oil tank just like my 1960 FL Panhead OUCH that was HOTTTTTT

    I would say go get u 1 of these from Papa Zook

    Thank you Papa Zook for a great product you sell

    I dunno, but even in 6 volts on ur bike the fans should spin like crazy

    I changed a 1952 Ford over to 12 volts but left the 6 volt starter on it cranked like crazy, the wingdings in the motor were different

    Wanna sell it? mine was 60FL14001

    6 volts on a 12 volt motor will do like what a brown out will do to a refrigerator or a TV,

    If left on too long good bye motors...

    U could step the 12 down to 6 to the fans with a resistor block

    Like this one, Fords and Chryslers used them on the ignition

    Did that on my old 9n Ford tractor , When i converted it to 12v...And once with an early Polaris ATV, Even though it was 12v, If the battery died completely. Once i rev'ed the engine past an idle all the lights would fry....The battery acted as an resister on the early Polaris...
