Thinking of installing cooling fan on my trike along with Jagg fan assisted oil cooler. Any input on which is better Lenale or FCS?

I bought the wards fan..waiting for the winter to install..Looks like agreat made product..
I've always thought about getting the Harley fan, but a Harley mechanic once told me the fan blows hot engine air on your right leg. So I never bought one - who wants MORE heat on their leg?
I see many people on here that like their H-D or Lenale fans. So I'll ask you guys = "How do you put up with more hot air being blown on your right leg"??? I don't think I could tolerate that.
I just recently saw the FCS set up. They look nice. I never knew there were air passages behind the spark plugs. Where do those air passages exit? Anywhere near your legs?
The setup I have now works very well and the heat is almost non existant.
TheBobs. I was talking about the H-D or Lenale fans blowing hot air onto my right leg, not the FCS which looks like a better solution as you mentioned.
My right leg is exactly in the center of the cylinders/air cleaner. Not only would the hot air blow on my leg, but it would be sucked into the engine through the air cleaner-not a good idea. Cold air is better for an engine.
I was even tinkering with the idea that you mentioned about wrapping the pipes. I am just concerned about the looks of the wrap. Did you put any chrome heat shields over your wrap???
Blowing heat in the air cleaner??? Even if you don't have a fan, if you have wind blowing from left to right going down the road, that hot air is still going into the air cleaner!
I have a Lenale and It works good for me. I can defently tell a difference when I turn it on when Idling on a hot summer day. I installed a oil temp gauge in place of the useless air temp gauge and can watch the oil temp either drop or quit climbing. It looks good also.ThumbUp

I have a LeNale also, used it so little. I got an air horn and the fan had to go. Its for sale, send PM.
The cooling fans are used when you are hung in traffic or stopped at a stop light. The fact that you are blowing hot air toward the air cleaner is a problem is ridiculous, I'm trying to cool the motor at or close to idle speed!
