i have it it has been on for 8k miles now. it works well.
bike is 09 and stock with v&h pipes no tuner and i live in az works very well
anything below 90 the temo in the pan is 200-220 after 1hour ride.
i have been in stop and go traffic at 113 and the temp rose to 237 that is the highest it has gotten for me.
me and the wife and bike loaded going up a 4000 mountain at 70mph in 103 degrees the oil temp at 235.

i feel it was one of the best things i could get for my bike.

Yep, been on my '08 Ultra about 5k miles. 112 degree Mojave heat at 80 mph climbing a grade the oil temp was 246. The fan works great if your stuck in traffic and can't split lanes such as in Az.

I like where it mounts better than the Harley one. But, is it a PITA to get to your oil filter? I couldn't tell from the thumbnail someone posted.

Nice concept, but $400 seems a bit much for what you get. Just from looking, I didn't like the ABS plastic housing, (looks like it'll warp with some miles on it), and what looks like a cheapo $10 CompUSA computer fan.

Two guys posted they like it and it's working well
So would "some miles" would be over 8K, since one rider posted he has been using it for 8K?

Some time back their site mentioned an upcoming fan kit for the HD Premium cooler, but I don't see it now. I might be interested in that option even though my oil-temps are in control now, normally staying at about 205° in this hot weather and never climbing above 230° in traffic. Also, EITMS never kicks in on this bike while riding, so I know the front head temp is staying below 290°.
