Default Cooling fan kit

The instructions seem harder then it probably reallly is, So has anyone ever put a cooling fan kit on by themselves, I can do it,and it may take alittle time, I'm concerned about cutting the #6 wire on the harness. I guess I will find out more when I open the shell up.

Any help will B appreciated!

Thank You! and If ur any where close to Houston,Tx. Feel free to give me a call on cell 832-755-3102, Wkend's R free!!

ConroeTxHarley, what is the number 6 wire you speak of?
What bike are you riding and what year?
I installed the parade duty fan kit about three years ago and it took me the better part of an afternoon.
Between needing the reading glasses and finding the dam things that was one of the reasons it took so long.
Remember to dis-connect the battery and pay special attention to connecting the power from the circuit breaker to the fan....
Eventually I by passed the thermostat and installed a switch it gave me something to do when sitting waiting for the t-stat to kick in.

A far easier and more effective cooling system to use is the FCS ... took me all of 45 mins to install . check it out, numerous threads on here about it. Jason Ward is a forum sponsor and give discounts to forum members

+1 on this

Jason included 6 business cards with my fan kit and all where given out within weeks to fellow riders who couldn't believe how compact and neat his kit was.

Whats the link to the FCS one? Has anyone seen the one from S&S? Its not that noticable and I think it said it was 500 something cfms, which is quite some air movement.
Also are these fan systems hooked up on a speed or temp sensor, or on/off switch?

I have no idea with other systems. But with the FCS I have noticed NO discomfort from fans blowing. For me its just the opposite it makes it more comfortable much less heat sitting on bike in traffic.
