Btw, I encourage the use of a EOC temperature monitor. I posted about this device in detail in a previous thread. Such a device is quite small and inconspicuous, and very easy to install. It is made by Trail Tech ($43). I am using two of these devices on both of my air cooled bikes, (CB1100 and a Triumph Bonneville). They work very well, informing me of my EOC at all times, (where 250F plus is not uncommon with minimal air flow thru the cooler), as well as the indicated OAT before starting the engine prior the next ride.
i would not be able to ride much if that was my limitation lol

Yea me either. My riding temp range (so far) has been -9 to + 113 and every degree in between. Biker Thumbs Up
