Love Jugs Temp Comparison Test Report

[Mykneesbehurtin]

Ok while at Ohio Bike week a buddy and me got a deal on love jugs since we each had them installed,he got the smaller set on his 09 and i had the cool masters installed on my 17.Now maybe I was under the wrong impression but I thought with the installation of the cool masters that would help keep the EIMTS from coming on so much.Well coming home today it was 78 degrees and after a blast of about 10 miles down I70 at 70 mph I pulled off the exit and pulled up to the light within 20 seconds the EIMTS kicked in,is this normal or am I expecting to much.

Testing data shows that two areas that generate the most heat is when running 70+ and at a stop and idle situation and you have that combination in rapid succession. Even with the fans, you will have times where the EIMTS kicks in if you go from prolonged 70+ to a dead stop and idle as the heat will climb quickly in that situation.

I sent Love Jugs an email concerning the EITMS kicking on,i received a message on my phone from Steve from Love Jugs,his explanation makes sense now .Harley has the EITMS hooked up to the ambient air temp and if the air temp gets over 81 the rear cly will kick out.He said to disable it and not to worry the engine will not over heat.You cant beat customer service like that.

Just to chime in, I also am impressed with my performance with my LG's. I haven't conducted any engine temperatures but do find that it greatly improves the stability of my oil pressure when cruising. The pressure still drops to almost zero when idling at a light but just a small quick crack of the throttle will show the oil pressure meter to move up enough to let me know the pump is working as it should. For my 08 Ultra C.

I have found the sweet spot for me is running 55-60 mph at 2800-3000 rpm's keeps the oil pressure at close to the 32 psi range. (I don't enjoy the interstate and speeds of 70 mph plus. I am more into traveling the back curvy roads here in the plateau of TN.) To each his own, I say. But just my "plug" for the Love-Jugs.

After sending Love jugs a email about the EITMS they called my home and left a message explaining how it works.Well before I could call back I started having some issues with the fans slowing down and at times coming to a stop.So I called Love Jugs and explained the issue,Dave said it sounded like a power supply issue,but if I needed anything to call him asap and he would have parts or fans over nighted to me.

Well today I got the trike back from the dealer and pulled the right side cover and inspected the connections.When they installed the accesssories plug they didnt get it lined up correctly and it pushed one of the pins back so it was not getting a good connection.Simple fix and now they work great,hats off to Love Jugs for great customer service.

They stay on whenever the the bike is in the on position if plugged into the accessory outlet under the seat. They also have a manual on-off switch on the fans to turn them off any time you want.

Some info for the 2015 Freewheeler owners: If your 8 pin adapter plug for the Mighty-Mites is wired with the red hot wire just below the black ground your fans will run with ignition off. ie full time hot wired and switch off at the fan switch.

You can simply move the red wire up next to the black wire; which will now plug into the purple/blue wire of your 8 pin accessory plug under your left side cover and be switched on and off with the ignition switch. The red/blue is full time Hot and the purple/blue is switched on your 8 pin Accessory plug; Hope this helps!

That's as simple as I can explain it and the Harley tech switched it for free in about 1 min.??

Bump to the top...great info.

I have been running the Mighty Mites for over a year now (Thank You Zook)

They have dropped my head temps by 30 degrees

I have them wired @ the battery with a fuse, I run them all the time it is second nature for me now

A very good and simple design:clapping:

 

[Fearless]

The same here Jack when the motor is running so are the Mighty Mite fans love them. All last season for us Engine Temps never over 245 Degrees. Over four thousand miles and the oil is still somewhat clean not black like before, when the motor was running way hotter than it should. Merry Christmas :christmas-tree:Fred/Jeanne

Same here. I turn the mighty mites on before I start the engine and leave them on all the time the engine is running. I also see about the same (30 deg.) drop in temps. One of the best investments I have made for the bike.

Yep, I have my Fans on when the motor is running, and when I get home I park it in the garage and turn on a Floor Fan till the motor cools.

Mounting Method

I like the appearance of the "slots". Has anybody tried them. Are they a different size than the cool masters? Did you use the horn mount vibration dampening kit? Just wondering how it worked. I talked to someone at Love Jugs this week and he recommended the frame mount. The frame mounting kit looks a little more complicated. I have a 2011 Triglide. Sorry for all the questions

Give Zook a call, the frame mount is not that hard, and definitely better.

Also, get them from him at this LINK.

I talked with Papa Zook and bought the cool masters with the frame mount from him. I really don't like the appearance of the mighty mites and I was concerned about the noise level and pitch.

The only time I hear them is when them motor is stopped but my hearing is not so sharp as a young person who never operated heavy equipment or recklessly fired high power weapons of various types LOL... just sayin. Fred

No one fires high powered weapons recklessly.......We do for the thrill of the recoil...:shok:..

Wow, I just realized we've made a couple of videos on the Love Jugs and never put them in this thread.

Here's a LINK on where to get them if you decide you want some.

Hi Kevin, I know I'm pretty late to the party here and been sidelined for about 5 years but is this the same as the Ward's Parts Works fans? I had them on the 14 Street Glide and loved them but if I remember correctly I had a thermostat on mine where they came on at about 210 degrees automatically and ran on their own even when you turned it off until the temp cooled down. Is that not an option anymore? Or maybe this is a totally different beast it just looks so much like the one I had.

Welcome back! Glad that you are able to be back in the wind!

This is very similar to the Wards Parts Werks fans. However, it does not have a thermostat option like the Wards fans did.

Wards is now out of business, so for this small format fan option, it is the only one.

Thanks for the info Kevin, sorry to hear about Jason's business. He was a really good guy. I loved his FCS though so I think the Mighty Mites may be the smart one for my Trike.

Thx again.

 

[Hdivy]

On a 2011 histrionic glide can they be a plug and play?

 

[Jd1a]

I put coolmaster fans on my 2019.

I am not so happy with my Mighty Mites. I had them installed in Panam City by CycleSolutions and one of them has already quit working. They are still under warranty, but Love Jugs website says they are "on a few weeks break" but are still selling via the site but not answering e-mails. It's been about two months since this broke and they still not answering.

Maybe they aren't as good as they used to be. They help when they work but are no good just hanging there not turning........

As an update. I resent my-mail and even though it’s late on Friday night got a response from Love jugs asking for my address to send me out a replacement fan . Another project in the works! Hopefully it gets here soon , it’s been in the 90s already
