- Unboxing and installation of Harley Davidson Coolflow fan kit on to my Road King Special. The installation process was not too difficult but did require removing the battery in order to access and mount the screws to the Fan. This video logs my process of performing the installation per the included installation guide. At the time of uploading the video, I have not gone to the Harley service tech to activate the Fan. I bought the fan from the guys at New Castle Harley. They ship quick and stay in good communication. shop.newcastlehd.com
Parts discussed in the video.
Switch waterproof boot: amzn.to/3cMCW2m
Harley Davidson Coolflow fan kit: 26800121

Great instructional Video, thank you for putting that out for us fellow HD Riders!
Thank you for your great quality videos. I have installed a cool fan and an oil cooling fan with your videos. You have saved me a lot of money
I would encourage everyone using this video as a guide to try the fan before putting the bike back together. If you have a bad fan or messed something up you will have to take it all apart again.
I came across this video, as I am planning on doing this later this spring. Thanks for the walk through. Seems simple enough!!
Great video
Thanks for the video. It was a great help. Because I added the midframe air deflectors, a more significant challenge was added.
Great work and detail and great music !!
Excellent video, nice work thanks.
Another great video from you, quite informative, keep them coming, and thanks
Bro, your videos are great! You get in there and show it all in detail. Now subscribed
Nicely done video. Thanks for making it. I'm looking at doing one myself.
Nice video. Definitely like the switch boot.
Very nice job, great detail on your video
Thanks 👍
Very helpful. Thanks.
Gd job thx
Nice job
Great job on the install! Thanks for sharing!
Would have been nice seeing it run
Thanks 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉😊😊😊😊
Great video....... will the factory air deflectors fit back on without modifications ?
The HD instructions suck. Great job on the video. Made my install so much easier. Thanks! I installed mine with the Mid-frame deflectors, color matched from Hogwartz. Can't wait to go to HD tomorrow and get it flashed to see how it works in the Arizona temps.
Post your experience at HD Service and if you had to pay for the activation. The experience or tip could help others too. Thanks!
@@rtabcum It all depends on when you go to the dealer. I went yesterday and had to return today in the AM because they were swamped yesterday. When I went and got my oil cooler fan flashed, I walked in and they did it right away. They did charge me, $85 for the cool flow fan flash. But, it's a big difference. as soon as I stopped at a light, I could tell it was working. The back of my thighs were't burning up. Well worth the cost, especially in Phoenix heat.
@@jjsz422 I had the cool flow fan on my 14 SGS so I knew I would have one on my 21 RKS and you're right it really make a big difference especially if you add the mid-frame deflectors! Riding around in Tucson this fan really does pull that hot air away from your thighs!
Great video!! I received the wrong instruction with my fan, but was able to download them on the HD site, then I found your video! No instructions needed!! Watched you video all the way through first and doing so enabled me to make a few changes in the order of steps. Before installing the actual fan I did the oil line cover first, this way I had max room to get the hose off and keep the oil from going everywhere. Next I did the wire bundle and then I mounted the fan itself. When it came to the switch I was able to look up underneath my front forks and found the plug, popped the plastic cover off for the switch and wiggled the switch into the hole without having to remove the headlight! Without your video I wouldn't have been able to take these shortcuts! I know it's been a year since you did this video, but did you add the mid-frame deflectors? If not you really should because they really enhance the airflow pull off the rear cylinder! Well I'm going to watch your oil cooler install next because that's my next add on part! Riding in Tucson AZ I need all the cooling I can get for my 21 RKS! Thanks again for the great video!
Good idea. Doing the oil line and stuff before would have been easier. I did added the mid frame air scoop and it worked very well. But after several months. I removed the left side scoop because it was in the way of driver back rest recline lever. Having both the Cool flow fan and the oil-cooler fan really helped when riding through town with the temperature exceeds the upper 90s.
Great explanation brudda! Great vid. Did the stealership charge you to activate the fan? In your opinion Is the fan worth the heave Harley tax?
Thanks. Planning to activate fan at 1k service in a few weeks. I just got the Dynojet Vision that can read the engine head temp through the ECU. Will do a video on my findings. So far, at 70 degrees ambient, engine temp goes to 300 degrees in stop and go traffic after 30 minutes. No fan.
Hi Russel…sorry asking again 🤗…after this installation, it need to go to HD dealer right? Or is there any way to activate manually using the factory switch that came inthe box 🙏🏼…thx for your respond 🤗
Hi there. You will need to bring the bike over to the Harley service center to have them activate the fan. I don't know of any other way at this time. Call the HD dealer and see how much to activate the fan. Some HD may do it for free and others will charge a small fee.
Doing this on my ‘20 RK, found your vid to see how to get the oil line off the rear head. Mine won’t budge, did yours come off as easily as it looked in your vid? Nice job, used another of your vids to install the same speedo.
The oil line was stuck on but after about a minute of wiggling, it came loose. There is a trick I have done in the past with stuck oil lines. I would use a small dull screwdriver to pry in between the hose and fitting just enough to get the WD-40 to spray in with the small straw. Then use a medium size pliers to turn the tube back and fourth to spread the WD-40 oil inside the tube. I did it until it came loose. Just be very careful not to cut or damage the oil line. Good luck.
@@rtabcum Exactly what I did. Just spray some WD-40 under the hose and give it a min to soak. Hose came right off.
Hai Russel…very clear and informative there…thank you much…one question, if I skip install the oil line cover…will it impacting other? Because originally there is no cover on the rubber pipe 🤗…thanks in advance for your respond 🙏🏼
Hi there. The oil line shield is a recommended step. The nylon shield will help prevent chafing with the Cool Flow fan housing. I would recommend to install it because you will notice the oil line will come into contact with the plastic edge of the fan housing.
@@rtabcum thank you much for the respond…really appreciate it…I’m was thought avoiding potential oil messy 🤗
Would love to get a follow.up on your installs , pros and cons
Yeah, I thought about making a follow up video on how effective these are but I just don't have enough equipment to provide a definitive answer. As far as how I feel about the Fans, in 90 degrees F, driving in downtown, the bike takes a noticeable longer time to reach 325 degrees. Sitting at the traffic light at idle, the temperature would rise much slower with the fan running. The cool flow fan does effectively keep most of the rising heat away from the driver especially when I have my feet down at the traffic light. So do they work...yes. Are they worth it? Well that is going to depend on each individual perception. I certainly think they are worth it.
I think I would have done the oil line shield first ?
LOL doh. I accidentally made a tear on the spark plug wire... i don't think it teared all the way through and i don't see any spark coming out of it but I am going to change them all just in case lol.
That sucks. I just used my fingers and wiggled loose.
What kind of seat do you have? Looks great on your bike.
That see you see in this video is the "Reach Seat" with an adjustable back rest both from Harley Davidson.
Does it work good
The fan helps with redirecting the engine's hot air flow to the ground instead of rising up to the driver's thigh. So for me, yes it does work and keeps me a bit cooler when stopping for a period of time especially during the hot summer days.
Another harley misstep. They should do away w. Such a bulky heavy battery . Supply Lithium and smaller . For what they charge
Totally agree.
What is this for?
Supposed to draw hot air from the engine and blow it down to the pavement. Not sure if it will help to cool the engine. I am thinking its just to keep the heat away from the rider. Going to test and see.
RT California ok, I am curious about the result. Do you have an USB installed? I‘ m looking for a video about USB Installation
When you say USB, are you refering to USB chargers or USB interface to the bike ECU? For the interface to the bike, I am using the Dynojet Vision. Only monitoring. For USB power, I tap off the accessory connector on the right side in the headlight housing. I have not completed the video on either.
RT California i‘m looking for a USB Installation to charge the telephone during using it as navigator or to charge the headsets for longer trips
@@Damn_ol_ini I have a video on cell phone and USB charger powered by headlight accessory connector soon to be released. I did not run the power through the gas tank to the Deutch connector as Harley recommmeded.
Activate the fan..... another $200...... hahahahahahah
