Default Thermostat

Hi Guys, I read on hear about aftermarket thermostats for other vehicles fitting these bikes. I have a 1988 mk1 cbr1000fj. I'm looking for to replace the stat as she very rarely gets warm unless in standing traffic. Think its stuck open. I am in the UK so need to find it from a European model preferably just for availability. All the links I have found have been for US models. Can anyone help ?
John

I bought one, easy to fit without draining the system.

Thanks for the replies. Where did you order from and do you have the link?

Cheers

Thanks for that will get one ordered and fitted this weekend. The one in the pic doesn't seem to have a giggle pin. I assume this is not important.

Will I need a new o ring or can I just size match one..

To tell you the truth, I cheeped out and used some sealant.
My factory thermostat didn't have the pin but the new one did. I cut it off the new one.
Make sure the little hole is positioned at the top during installation.
