Just below the over flow tank is the easiest to get to. I dont even know which way the coolant flows on this motor, do you?

C'mon now. Nobody knows anything about the cooling system on this motor? Well, my dealer doesnt either.
water temp gauge
Assuming you are installing a water temp gauge?
I put on a little digital gauge I bought from Bikeman, I'm interested in monitoring coolant coming back off my heat exchangers so I know when to drop the scratchers. I don't care about the actual temp, just the sudden rise when snow's crappy, I zip tied my sending unit to the hose returning coolant rite above the disc brake (M8), wrapped it in a couple layers of foil tape. Runs 78-80 degrees normal pulling hard in cold snow. Hit the snowpacked road to the truck will go up to 90, drop a scratcher back to 78, second scratcher 73 easy downhill snowpacked road @50mph.

Duct tape seals better.

I think I will do the same, but I think I will actually tap into the line with a piece of aluminum tube and tap in the fitting.
