You would think somebody would make a fan for the oil cooler, I've not seen one.

Yes. The sensor is hitting the filter due to the adapter. I forgot to mention I have wideband sensors. Are those longer than narrow band?

I'm thinking about removing the cooler altogether and just run the exhaust.

so, Harley does off the touring model cooler FAN oil also...
i have been wanting to look into the dimensions, possibly locate that FAN onto some custom fabbed brackets.

i am not a fan of the appearance of the ultracool.

where could a waterproof, slim fan be found?? Probably wouldn't take too much too fab up a bracket and wiring.

If you're not opposed to obtrusive and expensive there's this --- https://ultracoolfl.com/shop/harley-...-on-down-tube/

EDIT: Oh crap, someone else posted this already, sorry
