Just reposting this in case anyone missed it:

Also, you can get the switch for MUCH cheaper on rockauto.com (i just paid $8 shipped) and pretty cheap on ebay too.

Just installed it, was pretty easy.
Fan comes on at 201F turns off at 195F. Just perfect!

How reliable are our fans? I live in Bakersfield and it gets pretty damn hot here 100+ in may through September usually, and if I have my fan kick on at 201 then my fan would prolly be on non stop... Is that healthy? Lol

Mr. Phil your bike is running hot. Regardless of the outside temp, at highway speeds you should never be over 200. Check your coolant level.
