For those of us on this side of the pond that want to buy Evans, there is a UK dealer. They are called Gearfox and their site is at; http://www.gearfox.co.uk/evans.html

It's not cheap at £30 sterling plus shipping (I bought 2 gallons & a gallon of the Evans flushand shipping was £16 extra). I could have got it for $27 a gallon (about £20 sterling) from the USA but whopping shipping costs made it cheaper to buy from the UK. I got the NPG+ and spent the morning flushing the old coolant out. I had new hoses and a water pump in late last year (also new head gaskets) so I'm confident the system is sound.
Observations;
Eh, well it's too early to say too much. I let the bike run for 30 minutes and I did notice that the hoses are still flexible (they don't get as hard as with normal coolant), so the claims of lower pressure build-up seem to bear out. The temp gauge is just a bit lower on the scale than usual after 30 minutes and the fan took a full 10 minutes longer to come on and it shuts off quicker too.
I will keep ya'll posted on any developments. :skipping:
