This is fix My Hog and I'm Bob LaRosa. I'd like to take a moment and discuss an inherent problem with the Harley Davidson air-cooled engine. As we all know, air cooled in the proper environment runs hot. Heat dissipation is always been a problem not only for the engine, oil breakdown, engine life, engine operation, but also for the rider and the passenger's overall comfort. Heat itself has very destructive properties. It wants to tear apart the engine from the inside out. Although a lot of oil coolers have been produced in the past have been installed on these air cooled motorcycles, a lot of the newer models come with an oil cooler installed. We as mechanics, as motorcycle riders have found by adding an additional air flow across the cylinder greatly reduces the temperature of the engine, by reducing that temperature it increases the comfort of the rider and the passenger. This particular product Love Jugs, has come up with a fantastic product. It's very well-made. It is meant to mount directly to the horn bracket. A quick note on that particular style of installation. This system will vibrate or jiggle around with the engine. The engine vibrates intensely, especially at idle. You'll notice when you're off idle moving down the road, the vibration seems to settle the same would apply to the Love Jugs dual fan system. If it's mounted to the horn bracket, it will vibrate in an idle in relation to the way the engine vibrates. My preference: Love Jugs does offer a frame mount kit. This is a two-fold benefit from Love Jugs. One, It will reduce the vibration of the Love Jugs unit by up to 90% because you're not mounting it directly to the engine. You're mounting it to the frame which obviously has much less vibration when the engine is running. Twofold, it will extend the Love Jugs warranty from 30 days to a full year if you utilize the frame mount kit as opposed to installing the dual fan setup on the horn bracket. Either way, this system, the Love Jugs dual fan cooling system, it's built very strong. It's built very rugged, very rigid. The fans are tested for over 20,000 hours of operation. So you basically, once it's installed correctly you want to leave them running all the time the engine is running. The only time you may want to shut them off and it's not necessary - is when you're traveling down the highway at highway speeds then the fans are really just pushing air that is already getting pushed by the highway speed you're traveling. This particular setup is complete. You will order a separate mounting kit if you opt to mount it directly to the frame. That is this kit in front of me. You can see it's all well-built the fan assemblies themselves - are very well-designed. They come securely packaged. So you don't have to worry about any transport damage, any shipping damage. They are well-designed where the switches can be rotated either to be accessible from the top or the bottom. It also plugs directly into the accessory location on the motorcycle. So you can leave the switches on and just utilize the accessory switch on your particular motorcycle. Again, it comes with everything you'll need. It comes with a full 30 day, 100% money back guarantee. For any reason, if you don't like it, and it is in the same condition that you received it it can be sent back for a full money back guarantee. This company stands behind their product like a company I have never seen before. They want you to take this product put it on your motorcycle correctly, utilize it. You will see a dramatic cooling difference. The temperature of the motorcycle will drop 80 to 100 degrees within six minutes of the fan being turned on. They're so confident of that there's actually a video of the temperature drop with the fans on in a six minute timeframe right on their website, LoveJugs.com. When you go to install this, if you're going to mount it to the horn mount you don't need to remove the fuel tank. If obviously you're going to utilize the frame mount set up you're going to want to remove the fuel tank mount it correctly to the frame, re-install the fuel tank. Make sure everything clears the fuel tank. And again, that is my preference. If someone were to tell me something is going to vibrate a certain amount but if you use this correct mounting kit you can reduce vibration by 90% I would definitely use the second option and frame mount it. Again. It also extends your warranty from Love Jugs from 30 days to a full year. And don't be afraid to use this system on your horn mount. Again, it is ruggedly built. They are tested and they are proven to run over 20,000 hours. So whether you're mounted on the horn bracket or you opt to mount it to the frame with the less vibration either way, it's going to operate correctly. It's going to cool down your engine. It's going to cool your oil going to save the life of your engine. Also going to make your riding comfort much better. And if you ever don't think these are working take a moment. Stop in traffic, shut them off. You'll feel that wave of heat come right up on you. Turn them back on, the heat will dissipate. This system really works. Money back guarantee. And I'll tell you they have the best referral program I've ever come across. I'm not going to get into the details, when you buy this make sure you explore their referral program. Make sure you utilize it because if you're able to pass on this great product to other friends and they sell them this unit, you will get refunded. You sell enough of them you'll actually recover the cost of your unit just by passing on the friendly information of a great product.
I have one question concerning Love Jugs. Does the heat get dissipated or does it get blown onto your right leg? I'm a little worried that my right leg could end up quite hot on long stops.
