I used a horn from the HD Blackline series... Downside, not as loud as the original horn.. But it had to be small/flat enough so that it would not hit the front fender...

Thanks, though I love the looks of the engine, where I live you need a loud horn, I'm going to see how things turn out with the mini beast.

Do these specs apply to the first-generation fans too?

I've heard good reports about Brown's Plating in Paducah, KY. I have no direct experience with them, however.

Browns has been around a LONG time and that is usually a good sign of quality. I had stuff done there 30 years ago and it was well known then but as is most places nowadays, they are not cheap.

Thumbs up FCS in cast alum

Fans came in today and I installed them tonight-I am going to try to upload a pic just so guys can see what the cast alum looks like with cast jugs.The pic quality is not good but i assure you the color match is spot on.

Just to echo what everyone is saying they are very nice quality and seem to move a good amount of air.Easy to install and they sound like turbiines ramping up to speed.

Thumbs up Ran my fans for 12 hours strait!!!

I am a shift worker and left my fans on accidentally for over 12 hours yesterday in the garage at work and was still able to start my bike without a jump!
I really expected to have to jump start my bike but these little fans have a nice low draw!!

Jason I just thought you'd like to know I'm really happy with mine they do a great job of cooling my ride!
