Default Cooling fan and Love Jugs

I currently have a the cooling fan installed on my 2021 Streetglide Special. I am also looking to install a set of love jugs. I was wondering if any one else has done this. Currently the cooling fan uses the four pin accessory plug. I was wondering if I have to make/buy a 4 pin y connector to get both fans to run. Any suggestions. Thanks

I was thinking about the Mighty Mite fans or Jim's fan horn combo. Thoughts?

I have it on my stock 107 with mid frame deflectors. I'd say it is working as designed - I can barely feel any heat in 90+ F weather regardless of whether I'm wearing jeans or "baggy" pants.

Has anybody removed the passenger side air defector behind the rear cylinder? I read it traps hot air, on a highway ride yesterday I put my hand in that pocket and it feels like hot dead air.
Though appearance wise I like the look of it. Could the Cool Flow fan actually be obstructing air flow? Just thinking out loud.
they recommend the air deflectors with the fan so id assume they are made to work together, the entire point of the deflectors is rider comfort, so sounds like if the hot air is staying under them, they are doing their job, the CF fan sucks that air out and blows it away.

Installed the fan this past week, 2 dealers 30 to 45 min. from me both saying that I can't get an ecm flash until Labor day. They say they are to backed up. Small job, what if I needed a tire another small job. If it were my only means of transportation I guess to bad.

When I bought my bike last year, I was offered the prepaid maintenance deal ($2200.) unlimited mileage for 2 years which gives you "front of the line" priority.
Though I wished multiple times I had not locked myself into one dealer and kind of wanted to DIY. Glad I did when my recirculating pump and Boom box malfunctioned a month ago.
I called the dealer and they said they we're booked solid into October! I said, "hey I need that extra 7500 mile oil change you do" and "Oh by the way." Waited on the parts but they had me in in 48 hours. Well worth it.

Yeah, I get the same replies from my dealer. I bought the TR tool, so now I can turn my fans on myself. I need to adapt my Ward's fans to the CF Fan plug

Agreed, this is my second one, 1st was on my 103 SGS, then I put it on m y 21 Ultra, primarily its a slow roll or stoplight light fan.
