Yes de-catting would be better if you don’t care about your warranty.

Even without cats the fan would still help.
Oh my. Just an opinion. I never buy new bikes so I don't worry about warranty. However I think if I did I would decat. Save old headers and pipes. And reinstall if ever I had a warranty issue. Pretty simple really. A lot of Florida dealers really don't care if u decat anyway. They still cover from what I am hearing. Safe rides

No worries, my opinion is worth about what one pays for it. Just my experience. Decatting would always help cut down the heat no question.

Happy with mine so far. Just getting to the 100s here in AZ so haven't tested in so far in extreme heat but seems like it will certainly help.

I put a decat header on my bike and while it did help some there was still a lot of heat when in traffic on a warm day. I'm really happy with the fan and wish I'd done that first as it made a significantly larger difference and I ended up removing the decat and installing True Dual headers anyway. I also wish I had auto control but on my '15 it's a manual on/off switch which is fine except I sometimes forget to turn it off once I get moving (it's only useful at slow speed). I say it's worth getting if you spend time riding slowly on hot days. The heat relief on the calf is very noticeable.

I very much agree!! Mine's an '09 & I wasn't concerned with the manual switch but yes I forget about it quite a bit!!

It works.
It sucks the hot air off of your rear cylinder and puts it to the ground.
Head fans work too, plus the cat out plus having a good oil cooler.
A good tune helps too.
