You would be surprised how much a GOOD tune up would cool that bike down.

Harley's didn't come with fans in the past either, unless you count the ones on the Twin Cooled radiators (you still have those), so I don't have a clue what that dealership person meant.  He is correct that you can buy a cooling fan that helps direct air from the rear of the engine away from the rider, but that never was standard equipment.  Harley sells that unit, the aftermarket can provide fans that blow directly on the heads to keep them cooler but that's not going to make a significant difference in the heat you feel on your right leg.
