I'm already looking at floorboard extenders and a Crotch Cooler but would like more input on fans and ways to reduce oil temps as well as keeping the heat away from me.

I would 1st.discuss it with your dealer & verify that all systems are working properly, being a new trike.
Next, I would click on the Love Jugs link on here and go from there. The founder here, Papa Zook, can help you out.

I can verify the Mighty Mites fans have lowered my M8 engine temperature at least 30 degrees
I am betting the larger Love Jugs fans would lower the temp even more

I would suggest giving DK Products a call. Along with the mighty mites I bought from Papa Zook I added some other items from DK which would be oil cooler/relocation kit and tank lift (1.5 inch). This summer on the hottest days the combination of these items kept the highest oil temps at around 235. I own a 2016 103 T/C. Welcome aboard. I am not a rocket scientist so keep in mind I am just an old scooter tramp that went to 3 wheels. hope that helps.
welcome aboard tony. all good stuff already stated

Here is a chart on the Love Jug Mighty Mites that you can get from Zook at this LINK.
As you can see, the Mighty Mites cool a bit better than the other versions of the Love Jugs.
Key to the above chart:
Amb= Ambient Temperature at the time of the testing
CHT= The front cylinder head temperature as measured by the OEM factory sensor, and displayed on the Power Vision as ET
FC= Temperature measured with a heat gun, directly behind the spark plug on the Front Cylinder
RC= Temperature measured with a heat gun, directly behind the spark plug on the Front Cylinder
The fans do a very good job at cooling down the engine temps. There are additional things you can do to get the temps down even more, for better performance AND Comfort. You can see a full Report on why and how to cool down your Trike at this LINK.

You can also receive some benefits by adding a set of DK Custom's Cooling Deflector Wings for the trike. I have these, the Footboard Extensions and the Tank Lift w/Deluxe Lift Kit.....will also be installing DK's Oil Filter Relocation Kit in the next couple of weeks.
Just recently installed the Mighty Mites for upcoming summer cooling duty.

The stage one air cleaner, pipe and slipons will help with the heat if you have it tuned properly, as well as, increase performance. Unfortunately, unless you purchase HD approved equipment and tuners, it probably will void your warrantee. A lot of the Harley Dealers have techs that can properly tune the engine after upgrades (mine doesn't ... they just go with "canned" maps). I don't know much about the new 19 head pipes, do they have catalytic converters in them?
Tony,
Adding a set of the patented v-twin Love Jugs fans is for sure the single best method of controlling heat while riding and is the only way to manage heat while inching along in stop and go traffic. Feel free to give me a call if you have any questions.

Yes, a good Stage I will help reduce the heat. It will also improve power and increase engine longevity.
You can see a full Report of all you can do to decrease heat, and approximately how much each decreases the heat at this LINK.
