The first Time I Heard of Love Jugs I Thought it was the title of a porn movie. okay, so maybe I shouldn’t have told you that. But what I should definitely tell you is that a set of Love Jugs fans provide extreme cooling power directly to your Harley’s combustion chamber and exhaust valve area. for this added charge of coolness, we installed the original Love Jugs slots system (#sd-320/$349) on our 2006 road King.Practically, we all know that increasing air flow over an air-cooled engine will lower its overall temperature. Your rear cylinder runs hotter than the front because it’s mostly getting the hot air flowing from the front cylinder. of course, there’s no air flowing over the whole engine when you’re sitting in traffic on a hot day.

Love Jugs achieves its massive cooling potential by flowing 504 Cfm of air from a pair of electric fans (252 each) directly to where it’s needed most, whether the engine is sitting at idle or out on the open highway. Love Jugs are available in a chrome or black powdercoat finish and are made entirely from aircraft-grade stainless steel. The outdoor-rated electric fans are entirely waterproof to the degree that they can actually run underwater. This may seem like overkill to the casual rider, but long-distance riders know how important weatherproof equipment is.

In addition to a cooler top end, Love Jugs, by default, also keeps a Harley’s oil much cooler as well. Cooler, more viscous oil leads to a longer-lasting engine and less wear and tear.

Several different Love Jugs models are available, as well as vibration dampening options, and come with everything you need for the installation. all Love Jugs models will fit 98 percent of all Harley-davidsons ever made as long as there’s a horn mount on the left side of the engine. Love Jugs makes some pretty hefty claims about its product, so we decided to do our own test, conducted by editor Chris, as we reported in an earlier issue and have included in this article in an accompany-ing sidebar. If you’ve been looking for a way to improve the cooling of your Harley-davidson, check out the step-by-step install to see exactly how to make that happen! AIM

Centuries of poets, bards, and musicians have long serenaded the masses with the wonders of the world shaking the cold of winter and embracing a rebirth in spring and summer. So, too, are we excited for the changing weather, albeit with less pretty wordification. As we move into the riding season for much of the country, our American Iron Garage Spring issue is in still circulating the newsstands, and Summer will be hitting the shelves at the end of May. There’s still much to be seen on our Dennis Kirk/American Iron Magazine giveaway Fat Boy, with the upcoming issues of AIG rife with installs and how-to guides, and there’s plenty of time for you to enter to win. Head over to Greaserag.com to order any and all back issues of AIG, and keep your eyes peeled for these Fat Boy installs, as well as many others, in the our Summer issue.

We got our hands around some Love Jugs Cool Masters, a pair of external cooling fans that promote efficient air flow over those hot twins while crawling through traffic. It was a fairly straightforward install, and we were even able to complete a Klock Werks project from Spring that required an ignition relocation. The exhaust system also received some TLC in the form of blacked-out 2-into-1 Freedom Exhaust Outlaws, and we noted some tips and tricks to get through this install properly. Lastly, we cleaned up the stock coil and hanging wires with an ACCEL Stealth SuperCoil install, a project that might sound daunting but was actually finished with relative ease. The winner of this sweepstakes will surely be a happy new owner.

And how can that new owner be you?

Love Jugs
Cool Master Fan Installation
Story by Jason Mook – Photos by Jesse B. Nelson

Air Cooled V-twin engines have always battled against overheating. The air-cooled design requires air flowing around it in order to maintain a decent operating temperature. An engine in a motorcycle that is traveling at highway speeds, receives the necessary air to keep it cool and running properly. When that same motor gets stopped in traffic and has to sit stationary, engine temperatures can rise and create a dangerous situation for your V-twin. Although improvements such as increased oil capacity, larger cooling fin surface area and the EITMS (Engine Idle Temperature Management System) have helped the problem, an air-cooled motor needs air flowing on it to keep the temperature down. Love Jugs Cool Master Cooling System keep air flowing around the engine when it is stopped with two high powered fans, one for each cylinder. Whether the bike is stationary or moving, stay cool simply with the touch of a button. Difficulty Level: 1/5 Estimated Time to Complete: 0.75 hours

Like a certain paint company, Love Jugs are covering the earth, cooling motorcycles in every continent except Antarctica. World-wide media is proclaiming the merits and benefits of Love Jugs for our products. This two page spread from the Japanese Club Harley Magazine is just another example of the international appeal of our incredible V-Twin cooling systems.
