Hi all, anybody have experience or opinion on ability to mount love jugs mighty mites and a DK customs coil relocation kit with Arlen Ness deep cut coil cover on 2016 Fatboy Lo! (At the same time in the same place!) All opinions and advice are welcome, thank you.

I have done it. Had to make a new coil relocation bracket to make it work nicely (due to sloppy wiring/interference with Love Jugs mounting bracket). My coil bracket mounts behind the Love Jugs bracket & doesn't need any spacers plus keeps the coil wiring tidy. I made a new aluminium bracket - same shape as DK, but with C/C extended by by 0.46" from memory (I'll take some picture tomorrow) to drop the coil down below the Love Jugs bracket for clearance at top pf coil & for coil wiring.
I got the following Image from the Internet, which uses the standard DK bracket with some dodgey adapters mounted on top of the Love Jugs bracket. This didn't work out right on my street bob. As you can see, the DK bracket is in front of the love jugs, my bracket is behind (much neater). There is NO way the wiring harness is connected to the coil in the picture below either.
Here's the adapters (goes between Love Jugs Mount & DK Coil Bracket) in the above to space out the coil form the love jugs bracket (you run out of threads on the rubber mount):
1. A Stainless Fender Washer.
2. A stud of the same thread that is already on the bike (5/16-18).
3. A Coupling nut (5/16-18).

Hahaha. Now you guys come up with the good stuff, less than 24 hours after I've dropped US$200. Keep the info coming I'm learning from you guys all the time, thank you

Here's how I did it:
For some reason this picture needs to be rotated 90 degrees to better appreciate the bracket I made.
I also wired in a cylinder head temperature switch in to the -ve wiring of the Love Jugs for auto operation as needed. The part # for the temperature switch is KSD 9700 90oC Normally Open 12V 5A. I used a 2 pin Deutsche DTM connector (you can see it in the first photo if you look closely - gray coloured connector).
For anyone wanting to know the fan part number for the wards fans it's Crown AGB06038B12M 12V; 1.38A. This is a generic 6038 series 12V fan. 12000rpm, 67.3cfm, 145gms (No doubt Love Jugs is same/similar). I have Wards fans as well.

Well done Hilly.
Great initiative and pics. Where did you get the love jugs from?

I got mine direct from Love Jugs. They had a sale on when they first released them. Shipping was reasonable & fast.
Here was the dimensions for the coil bracket I made in the previous photos based on the original DK bracket. You can see the changes, I may have adjusted the shaping slightly from DK due to the 0.460" C/C increase just for looks. I remember making the 0.675 radius bigger.

Am I mistaken. Fontana, the fans you are showing are dead ringers for the wards. (who appears to be out of business at the moment)
Update.
I always thought of getting one of the Wards design fans. They were suspending business at the time I looked.
Then I saw this thread about Love Jugs. I've done some more looking around.
Seems wards couldn't keep up with demand and didn't want to engage Love jugs in a dual / comparison. Love jugs completely bagged Wards fans over size efficiency etc in a huge open
letter / article
NOW, incredibly they appear to have copied Wards fan design and are selling them as Mighty Mites. And quite a bit more expensive.
See what you think

I have both Wards & Love Jugs. Wiring is nicer inside the Love Jugs, the mount is different, better on/off switch & general quality of the wiring/connections/etc. They come with a new (slightly wider) elastomer mount as well. They are not an exact copy, though the fans certainly are the same size (I've had them both apart).
Not sure of the current price (look on their web site), but I saw it as comparable to Wards price when I purchased.

Picking up the DK coil relocation kit tonight, will see what I can do about installing it tonight. No sign of my mighty mites yet, but I'm gonna proceed in the meantime with the coil relocation. I'll post pics when done.

Wild1 501 Chubbys installed, was a bitch getting the cables through!! The grease helped but it was tough. Freight Train Nacelle not yet delivered! Also installed Arlen Ness Deep Cut grips and the DK Custom coil relocation kit with the Red plug wires and the Arlen Ness Deep Cut coil cover. I relocated the OEM cow bell horn to the front of the bike where you normally bolt on the engine guards. Ride looks fuckin Schweet. Still waiting for black HD pop up gas cap and gas gauge, as well as the black HD brake and clutch levers, hopefully get those this coming week, so I can finish my summer mods. Then I can put the tank on and start her up! Woohoo can't wait. Problem is I can't ride until later September when it will hopefully cool down to something bearable , riding in 49 - 51 Deg C is not fun.
I'll post some pics when I'm done. In the mean time thanks to all that offered up advise and helped me get through the broken Allen key ball, that was a mess. Oh yeah, not going to go for the Love Jugs Mighty Mites at this stage, will revisit that another time, I'm also looking at the
Jag vertical oil cooler as an alternative because I don't spend a lot of time in traffic, I'll see.
Stay upright.
