It's on page 537 and 642 of the 2011 Parts and Accessories book. You are missing one zero. It's 62700005. Should be the first one on this list. http://www.harley-davidson.com/gma/g...bmLocale=en_US

Here are some thoughts from an old biker. I bought my first motorcycle when I was 16, a Triumph Thunderbird. I've been on 2 wheels until I bought the 09 trike. All bikes were air cooled. Until my 08 E-Glide, I had no idea how hot or cold the bike was. My 96cid E-Glide ran around 230* to 260* depending on air temp, traffic, and how fast I was riding. My nearly stock '09 Tri-Glide runs between 230* and 260*, depending on air temp, traffic, and how fast I ride. I haven't added a thing, no additional oil cooler, didn't change the head pipe, no fuel tuner, nada. Rush slip-ons, stage 1 air cleaner. Thats it. I live in Southern California. It was 104* today. I rode to breakfast, got into traffic, tooted around just for fun. The trike has run in the desert with temps to 118*. It has made two trips around the Grand Canyon. From Death Valley to 7000+ feet.
I seriously think the engineers at Harley Davidson really know what they are doing. They have to design within Federal clean air guidelines, and Air Resources Board Emission standards.
If I get stuck at a light on a hot day I turn off the motor. The couple of times the temp approached 300* because of traffic, as soon as I got air flowing again, it cooled down.
Ever wonder why they don't put degrees on your car temp gage??? Because your cars coolant runs at 230-260*. You just can't feel it because you have the air conditioner on. Your right foot is right next to the exhaust pipe on your Harley. Ever melted the soul of your boot on the pipe?? It is hot! My '92 Springer was hot, my '95 Softail was hot, my '03 Dyna was hot, my '08 E-Glide was hot, and the '09 and '11 Tri-Glides are HOT.
I'm almost at the point of taking the oil temp gage out, tired of looking at it. Nothing I can do. With a modified head pipe, zillion row oil cooler, fuel pack super tune and whatever else, get stuck in traffic with your engine idling, you are going to get hot.
Off my soap box. It is YOUR trike, spend what ever you want, but at least ride it sometimes!

You can with a little effort get the tri to where it will sit in the heat and idle all day and not have to worry about it! I got one that will, the EITMS will never kick on, but it never come out of the box that way!
