As I recall they were right in that range.

Love my wards fans, I will keep rebuilding them as needed. Love jugs ditched one of the best feature, the thermal switch, they say it's not need, ya right.

One turn off for me is the thermal fan and why I do not have it. Dont want a fan turning on and off at random, I manually turn on my Lenale if stuck in traffic that is it and would do the same with the Love juggs. Im almost wishing to try the Love Juggs for the fun of it but like any of these fans (and that goes for any product) the heavy duty nature makes them expensive to easily swap around!

With that said, if you wanted a thermal fan, one can simply install/adapt a sensor for any fan.

I've owned two Buells since 2004, both with stock thermal fans. They come on when they need to and go off when not required. Simples! What's not to like?!

Wish I had seen that...

I was totally unaware he posted any explanation... he just went silent....

I remember he developed the fans when he was in the military, and when he retired/left teh military he started really promoting them. I was unaware he had a full time job that got in the way....

I have a set of his fans. They are on my 2nd bike... they are well made and work well.... his customer service was unmatched... I'll rebuild them as necessary.. but they haven't needed anything yet....
