I have it on my Deluxe. Had to modify the brackets a little. Been on for 5yrs and works great. They'll tell u it won't fit , but you can make it work.

Do Yourself a huge favor and check out Jason Ward's Forced Convection System.

https://www.hdforums.com/forum/touring-models/713596-built-the-best-engine-cooling-system-again.html

These little fans use the horn mount, mounting behind the horn, and blow into the hole that goes through the heads, behind the spark plugs. The heads are where the heat is made, and these small, unobtrusive, but great looking fans do a fantastic job. www.wardspartswerks.com

Harley already has some pretty sophisticated strategies for preventing overheating. What problems are you encountering, and what do you want to accomplish?
