M8 Cooling
I'm looking to lower the actual/felt heat from the new M8 engine.
What is the best way to do it? Cool Flow Fan (PN 26800128 - $299), Fan Assisted Oil Cooler (PN 62700204 - $329), or an aftermarket tuner (FP3/PV - $399) and/or catless performance header ($600)?
Is the cat the major source of heat?
For those who have any or a combination of them, what is the best bang for the buck?
Many thanks!

my wife has the Crotch Cooler (something doesn't sound right about saying that) for her trike and has been very pleased with the results.
Harley recommends the mid frame deflectors to be used in conjunction with the cool flow fan for maximum heat diversion

I have installed them all on my 2017 road glide speacail and have no heat issues at all. The biggest bang for the buck came with the cool flow fan which blows the heat from the Cat down and away from your passenger, it really worked for me. Everything else just helped. The last thing I did was to change the stock head pipe to a fuel Moto cat less head pipe.
Mind you I would of changed the head pipe first if it would of been available at the time. The down side to the cool flow fan is that it only comes with one deflexter, for the right side. You'll have to buy the left side one separately. Ka Ching$$$$

I put these on my built 11 Road King as well as JAG oil cooler and the results were really good. http://wardspartswerks.com/index.html

1. HD attempted to defeat the heat issues with the M8. Apparently it's a fail.
2. I struggled with heat issues on my 2016 Tri-Glide and know first hand how frustrating it is to defeat the heat.
If I was in your shoes again I would probably end up buying all the extras you've listed plus the "Love Jugs" fan system.
Good Luck!!
