In issue 136 I reported on the fitting of the Love Jugs cooling fan system. However, at the time of writing we had not experienced any really hot weather to perform a test that would have some real meaning. So when a bout of hot weather arrived I performed the following
test.

When the temperature rose that afternoon to 36.5C degrees I parked Ugly Betty (fitted with Love Jugs) in the driveway next to wife Jane’s Switchback (no Love Jugs) and started both bikes. Leaving them both idling, with an accurate hand held Milwaukee Laser Temp Gun Thermometer I took several readings on the top fin adjacent to the rear spark plug. This was done at intervals of 10 minutes, during which time the temperature of the day remained constant.

I consider these to be fairly impressive numbers and to validate some of the claims the manufacturer makes on the Love Jugs website. HD
