chain question or thermobob

Hi Bill, sorry to get off topic here but I noticed your post and had intended to provide a little feedback on the ThermoBob I received from you and installed a couple months ago, spare time hasn't been my friend lately. I don't think I have 1000 kms yet this year, soon will rectify that I hope but so far I have managed to ride in quite a few different emperatures from just above freeving to just around 30*C. Installation was as simple and as straight foreward as could be, a quick glance at the instructions was all that was needed and all went exactly as described. Fabrication was excellent, sort of too nice to hide.
As far as performance goes Bob works exactly as advertised, warm up seems a little quicker and temp gauge needle settles in about a needle's width below the 1/2 way mark and just stays there....period. Not much in the way of stop and go traffic here, 2 lights would be a traffic jam..
...needle moves to about 1/2 scale and the cooling fan may cycle depending on the ambient temperature. Since the running temp is steady it's gotta be easier on the motor and I suspect since it is warming all the way up in cool weather moisture in the oil should be boiled off which to me has to be good for the motor and the oil life....anyway have a great day and thanks for Bob....Greg

It is made by EK. Then Greg May posted a similar experience: "Hi Jeff, the longest lived o-ring chains that I've used both on my street bikes and on my KDX200 have been made by EK" For what it's worth.
