Re: Article: World’s Most Powerful Cooling System for Harley-Davidson Engines

It’s been about two months since I installed my Love-Jugs on my 2013 Tri-Glide 103cc V-Twin. Great product!

As you all know that big V-Twin on the Trike is well hidden behind the lower fairings and over-heating anytime the machine isn’t rolling and getting airflow is a real problem…at least it was for me.

The new 103 runs much, much hotter than my old 1997 96ci HD EVO engine did.
Anytime I was in stop and go traffic wasn't long before the oil pressure dropped off (boiling oil?) and the engine went to one cylinder survival mode.

On top of that, I belong to a group of motorcycle riding local Shriners (various makes of bikes – both air cooled and liquid cooled models) with whom I ride in several “parades” every year.

These parades require about 30-45 minutes street maneuvers …circles, figure 8’s, in-out weaves, double file line-up sets…most of which are done at slow speeds….no air flow to the cylinders.

Parades also entail a lot of stop and go so (especially) in the hot summer months, my new trike took a pretty good beating from overheating whenever I participated in parades last year….it was getting so bad that I had even considered not using it any parades in hot weather this year.

Your product changed all that.

I’ve participated in three summertime “hot weather” parades this year and the Love-Jugs have kept my engine cool enough that it has not once hit survival mode during a parade…or for that matter not in any stop and go city traffic either!! AMAZING!

Now, I only turn them off when I’m on the highway…easy, quiet and convenient.

+1 They do help managing heat to keep your engine from overheating. Got them installed on my trike with a 124" engine. Engine oil temps have not gotten over 260 on a 95+ degree humid day in traffic

I am a believer since putting the Mighty Mites on my 17 Freewheeler

I have so far and NOT scientific testing lowered my ET temp by at least 50 degrees

I am still testing, and am hopeful I wil continue to see a drop

Thank you for a Great product that works and looks good on any bike

I have love jugs. My bike is a 2013 triglide. The heat was just coming off the right side and now both sides. I keep them on anytime my bikes running.

Do the Love Jugs blow the heat onto your right leg more?

The only time I notice it is at a stop light, but even then it is not that bad

I'm new to trike ownership (got mine back in April this year) and a set of Mighty Mites is next on my list after monitoring the temperatures this thing can get up to just riding to and from work... I've seen 292 degree engine temp and the head temp is usually about 3 or 4 degrees hotter. This is after doing the tank lift and removing the left side mid frame heat deflector. My next move after the fans will be the oil cooler and remote filter since temps over here can easily exceed 3 digits in the afternoon and I do tend to ride aggressively most the time (love that throttle) I decided to focus more on keeping things cool before going up to stage 2.

I'm glad I was able to see a set of these installed too because I was also concerned about how they could take away from the looks of the engine but these look like they belong there which is another plus.
