I had two police bikes 2019 & 2020 both come with oil collet fans as does the newer Freewheelers.

I do not have the parts manual for the touring models yet. But the police supplement shows it on the parts reference.

Ok...stand corrected...both police models have fans behind oil coolers, pulling air through, from 2017 MY onward...Freewheelers as well from 2017 onward...TriGlides do not have oil cooler fans due to the twin-cooled design...

You can't really see the fan by just looking at the front of the oil cooler, have to get down on the floor to look behind the oil cooler...then need 3 guys to help me get up

This is why I bought the Thundermax oil cooler fan. Easy peasy bolt on, direct fit.

The Thundermax just uses the same tabs that the oil cooler mounts to, they even include two longer screws and nylock nuts. A quick 15 minute job, no fuss, no muss, no mess.
