Your Harley Touring engine overhearing in rush-hour traffic, during parade duty, in extreme temperature environments? The CoolFlow Fan (P/N 26800128; P/N 26800121; P/N 26800120, $299.95*) for Touring models is engineered to maximize rider and passenger comfort and keep your cool on a sweltering summer day.
Unlike traditional fan kits that try to cool the engine by blowing air across the cylinders and often onto the rider’s legs, the CoolFlow Fan keeps riders comfortable by drawing heated air away from the rear cylinder and exhaust pipe and directing it toward the ground.
The CoolFlow Fan is almost invisible when mounted on the motorcycle, and features switched On/Off/Auto operation. In the On mode, the fan is active at low speeds, and will turn off when motorcycle speed reaches 40 mph. As speed lowers, the fan turns back on at 35 mph; this gap is intentional to prevent the fan from cycling on and off when riding close to 40 mph.
In the Auto setting, the fan operates based on a combination of slow vehicle speed and specific engine and ambient temperatures. Fan function is indicated in the odometer. The CoolFlow Fan is waterproof and designed for durable performance. A dealer Digital Technician update (priced separately) is required to complete the installation, and installation on some model may require additional components.
There is a CoolFlow Fan designed specifically for each 2017 Harley-Davidson Touring and Trike model motorcycle. See an authorized Harley-Davidson dealer for fitment details. These and other Harley-Davidson Genuine Motor Parts & Accessories are available at more than 750 authorized retail locations in the United States and online.
I thought the new motor was supposed to run cooler?
Cooler is still too hot.
How hot is HOT! What oil temperature is considered hot?
ummm….call me crazy?
seems this should be STOCK on all? how much more complicated could this be at time of assembly. and we all know, they all run too hot.
“digital update required” means one cannot purchase & install 100% themselves…dealer still in the loop.
meh.
It’s their way of admitting that their bikes run too hot and burn people as a result
ugh, so wrong on many levels. Too bad the MoCo isn’t allowed to just give ’em a good tune. One big forest fire or teeny volcano will have more impact on the planet than a few rich-running bikes, especially the ones that only get 2k miles per year (or less) put on ’em.
meh, indeed
I never thought I’d see the day when Harley is selling a cooling fan”accessory”. I own 3, all shovelheads that I love, but if I were to ever buy a new bike it would not be a Harley. They’re not a motorcycle company, they’re a lifestyle company. No thanks
When building the newer bikes, why doesn’t Harley make enough room and place twin fans under the gas tank above each head?
HD,.. still standing for $100.00 dollar…I mean come on for the price of the bikes now a days that should be a factory throw in!!! Nothing like screwin us all the way to the bank!!
How many people are there left in the world who are demanding this motorcycle, I wonder.
Kawasaki has a similar system standard on their touring cruiser for years. I don’t see why this shouldn’t also be the case with all Glides as well.
I’m surprised this is not offered on Rushmore and earlier TCs. Those engines are the ones that truly need it.
Radiator anyone?
Buster how dare you say the “R” word here LOL
Buell XB models had a fan to cool the rear jug way back in 2003. Standard.
Does anybody remember the Harley Davidson touring cooling fan from 1999 – 2000? It mounted to the top motor mount between the cylinders where the horn goes. Did not go over or work well
I just rode a Twin Cooled M8 Ultra halfway across Australia. The fan works well but is hardly ever needed as these new engines run MUCH cooler than the TCs. In fact they provide super impressive performance from stock. Why don’t you knockers get out of your mother’s basements and your pajamas and go ride an M8? Sheesh!
Don’t blame HD for heat,blame the government

Thanks Doc Robinson for a real world report.
That sounds like an incredible riding experience.
I’m jealous.
Thought the Milwaukee 8 was supposed to run cooler ???
I’m in agreement with PBR & this has been a sore point all along
“If it is a safety feature or one that has a real purpose on the bike,
why in the blue blazes is it not standard equipment ??
Surely H-D charges enough for it Touring bikes that you could slip some new tech
in there as a reward to the “faithful” or anybody else who would buy one of their bikes
