I think there is an option to do that through the bike wiring AUX plug and set it to Auto mode on the Boom display, the only reason I went with my setup is due to not having another AUX plug on the left side to patch in through the bike as I am using it for my PowerVision so the shop wired it that way for me with some sort of splitter.
I have tried CoolFlow fan couple of times so far and I really can't tell if it's doing what it's supposed to do. I am still getting heat coming at my calf but I think that's because of the Love Jugs doing what's supposed to do. I really can't tell from my setup for sure, wife has not been on the bike with me since it was installed. We are going to Vegas Bike Fest in 2 weeks so we'll see then.

It is one of the best add-ons - does exactly what its supposed to do. Pulls the heat down and away from the rider / passenger.

My 110" Stage III gets pretty hot to the point the wifey complains. I've been strongly considering the Cool Flow set up from HD. It would be great if somehow to hook it up with a heat sensing on/off set up, rather than just on/off by auxiliary switch. Anyone figured that out yet ?
After reading the below I realized the controlled install only activates the fan at temps above 395 and if <40mph @ 419!! What the heck good is that if your frickin leg is cooking at a stop and the temp is just under the trigger number? Sounds to me like the temp controlled setting is useless. If I am sitting at a light I want to be able to switch it on and blow the heat away. Screw it I'm keeping mine on all the time.
2009-2016 models
2017-2020 models: (there is a manual setting for it also)
AUTO setting: The fan operates based on a combination of vehicle speed, engine temperature and ambient air temperature.
- Vehicles with Ambient Air Sensors
- The fan runs at speeds below 64 km/h (40 mph) when the engine temperature is above 95 °C (203 °F) and ambient air temperature is above 15 °C (59 °F).
- The fan runs at speeds below 64 km/h (40 mph) when the engine temperature is above 215 °C (419 °F) and ambient air temperature is below 15 °C (59 °F).
- Fan turns off if vehicle speed exceeds 72 km/h (45 mph) or if engine temperature goes below this temperature 202 °C (395 °F).
- Vehicles without Ambient Air Sensors
- The fan runs at speeds below 64 km/h (40 mph) when the engine temperature is above 95 °C (203 °F).
- Fan turns off if vehicle speed exceeds 72 km/h (45 mph) of if engine temperature goes below this temperature 82 °C (179 °F).AUTO setting: The fan operates based on a combination of vehicle speed, engine temperature and ambient air temperature.

Thanks for that input "HDSledge", probably makes more sense just to leave it on all the time. I just didn't want to mess with it going down the road or fiddling with it at a stop light. Def. on the to-do list for the off season.

I left mine on after couple of lights so pretty much after motor is completely warmed up...
...I like manual switch where I can control it and not actually a pain to deal with as it's in clear view and easy to switch it on/off.
I am thrilled to know this fan really does work as someone mentioned so I don't feel spending $410 and not get what I paid for

Btw I was mistaken on the temp req. to activate it. Activates 203 at speeds less than 40 with ambient temp at over 59, but if ambient is less than 59 fan will not activate until engine temp is over 400. Too hot.
