well you guys wanted me to post results.. bad news and even more bad news... the stant thermostat was an 1/8" too big... however i have even bigger problems.... turns out not only a bad thermostat was the problem so is the fact my bike has a blown head gasket...... oh when it rains it pours with my bike.... every summer i have to replace something... its becoming a money pit....:???:

nah just gonna have my mechanic fix the head gasket for me.......He is a mechanic at the local Victory dealership and he does work at home on the side and only charges 20 bucks an hour labor...... so i may get by for under 500 for this repair.... hopefully i can go a summer or two without anymore problems after this......this bike has to hold on for 2 years yet then im goin for something newer and turning this one into a bobber........
