The best part is the last picture. I let the bike idle in the driveway for almost half an hour after going for a ride around the neighbourhood.
I wanted to see if the fan switch I installed would work.
The heat gauge got up to about 2 needle widths from the notch before the red mark.
I was keeping an eye on things with an infrared thermometer.
When I looked at the gauge again..the needle was where it is in the picture.
I'm assuming the thermostat opened.
The fan never did come on and it was hot here today. 20C in the shade.
I would say the rad works like it is suppose to.
