Default Freewheeler owners question

anyone buy one of these oil cooler covers, does it fit?

https://www.harley-davidson.com/stor...700634--1#tabs

under fitment guide it lists the Freewheeler, but also states "Does not fit with Fan-Assisted Oil Cooler P/N 62700204"...since the FW comes stock with the Fan Assisted oil cooler this is conflicting information from the HD Online Store, no shocker there..was thinking of getting one for my wife for her birthday present, either that or some household cleaning supplies so far on my idea list..hoping the oil cooler cover works instead if I hope to get my 'annual birthday present' from her

thanks

update: figured I'd just have to try..no worky..they need to change the labels on the box and documentation..anyone who just goes to a dealership and grabs one off the shelf is lead to believe it will fit only to have to be returned

It's fitment is for 17 Touring bikes which H-D considers the Trikes not to be. Learned that when I put a 120ST for touring bikes into my Freewheeler H-D said it was not authorized for trikes only touring models and declined a tune. So I went with a SE race tune which was a better tune anyway and named the bike "Unauthorized", Service manager sent H-D tech section a photo of the back end with the big bold letters across it.

my issue isn't with the classification or categorization of the models..it's with the contradictory labeling and description errors
