All,
I got my Thermobob installed and all is well.
I ran into something surprising that I thought y'all would be interested in.
My hoses at the water pump were reversed. This is an 06 with 13k+ miles.
I've changed the coolant once-without removing the hoses so I know I didn't
screw that up. Reckon I just didn't notice the routing at the time. I just
thought this might be something that others would want to check. Thanks to
Bill Watson and his most excellent instructions, I got things, uh, lined out
correctly.

Reversing the hoses can happen when you change out a defective water
pump seal. They fit pretty well in the wrong positions. If you didn't
buy the bike new the PO (or his mechanic) may have had a dyslexic
moment reassembling the pump assembly. If you did buy the bike new,
well, that's kinda scary.

OH Good,
I leave KY 31 Dec 2003 and you start to have dual sprot rides. sniff.
I have driven that area many of times, through the woods and over the
hills to grandma's house. I never made the trip again--after I
bought the KLR. sigh. so many missed opportunites...
Hope you all have fun. Looks like a hoot.
