i didn't pack enough water with me when I first overheated in the Tehachapi, but I made up for most of it with icemelt water in the cooler. I filled three jugs of ice water and let it sit in the sun to warm up before dumping it into an overheated motor.That under the hood pic tells a pretty good story Calvin: it looks like a flood victim that was completely under water

A word of advice, when you limp into town and don't need hard parts yet, check out a Kmart or Wallmart for fluid containers and chemicals etc.....hardparts are a whole other animal. I was able to find 6 gal water jugs for camping @$12ea and bar's leak @ $3.99 ea at Kmart. the local Autozone wanted $5.99 ea for Bar's leak. same ****, higher price.
actually, it works pretty awesome
dimensionally, it's the same as the CBR. I know it won't last as long, but the heat transfer is off the charts. it is hot as hell inside the engine bay now. temp needle hardly moves even on a hard pull down to 2nd gear.
